Sutton Council
Sutton Council's Planning Committee recently approved an HMO expansion, as other committees address local services and planning matters.
In November 2026, Sutton Council's Planning Committee voted to approve the expansion of a shared house in Wallington from six to ten bedrooms. This decision was made despite strong opposition from neighbours, who raised concerns about potential noise, disturbance, parking issues, and inadequate refuse management at the property.
The Planning Committee also granted permission for a new two-storey dwelling in Ash Road and extensions in Sandhills in October 2026. In September 2026, the committee resolved to grant planning permission for the restoration of Beddington Landfill. Other council committees continue to discuss various local issues, including product safety and highways plans.
Sutton Council serves as the local government authority for the London Borough of Sutton. It is responsible for providing a range of public services, overseeing planning and development, and making licensing decisions within the borough.
