The Buildings Panel

Last Sunday eagle eyed residents spotted that the top of the lamps illuminating Putney Bridge had been changed overnight and the Society was as surprised as everyone else.
We have now been told they have been removed temporarily for restoration and will be reinstated when refurbished.

Inspired by Putney Society Meeting on "Modern Architecture in Putney & Roehampton" held in 2019, we have designed six self-guided walks which you can take to view interesting Putney and Roehampton buildings which you may love or loathe!
The walks are compiled by local geographic area - they cover East Putney, Putney Heath, Upper Richmond Road West, Roehampton Lane, the Embankment and Church Sq to the River Wandle.
To view or print out a walk please click on the link below:
Architecture Walk 1 - East Putney
Architecture Walk 2 - Putney Heath
Architecture Walk 3 - Upper Richmond Rd West
Architecture Walk 4 - Roehampton Lane

The Putney Society Buildings Panel reviews all local Planning Applications against its Engagement Guidelines and, where appropriate, sends formal comments to the Planning Officer handling the case for Wandsworth Borough Council (WBC).
These comments are in the public domain when published on the WBC Planning website. However, the Executive Committee has decided that to provide members with a better insight into the work of the Panel they should also be published on the Society Website.
At their November 2024 meeting the Buildings Panel decided to support application affecting Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton and to comment on three developments which, although outside the area we normally cover, are contrary to the new Local Plan. If this Plan, and the local consultation behind it, is to mean anything then we believe the Council must reject the applications in their current form.
