Agenda item

Having considered an officer report, and presentations by the Mayor and a

representative of the Church of England, the Mayor and Cabinet agreed that:

(1) the feedback from the seven week period of public consultation for the

proposed new additions to the Local List be noted;

(2) the objections raised be noted;

(3) the legal and financial implications set out be noted; and 

(4) the additions to the Local List in Appendix 1 be adopted with the exception

of St Luke’s Church, Evelyn Street which should be the subject of a further

report.

The Mayor received a presentation from representatives of the Church of

England’s Diocese of Southwark, Eric Williamson, Property Development

Surveyor and the Reverend Louise Codrington-Marshall. Mr Williamson stated

that council officers had accepted the consultation in respect of St Luke’s

Church, Evelyn Street, was flawed as notifications had been sent to a building

which closed ten years previously. He asked for a deferment in respect of St

Luke’s Church only.

The Director of Planning advised the Mayor that Local Listing would not

preclude development but that agreeing all the other proposals and deferring

St Luke’s was possible.

The Mayor accepted the request made by the Diocesan representatives and

asked officers to engage with them and come back later in the year with a

standalone report on St Luke’s.

Having considered an officer report, and presentations by the Mayor and a

representative of the Church of England, the Mayor and Cabinet, for the

reasons set out in the report by a vote of 10-0:

RESOLVED that:

(1) the feedback from the seven week period of public consultation for the

proposed new additions to the Local List be noted;

(2) the objections raised be noted;

(3) the legal and financial implications set out be noted; and 

(4) the additions to the Local List in Appendix 1 be adopted with the exception

of St Luke’s Church, Evelyn Street which should be the subject of a further

report.
