Wandsworth Council's Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee is currently scrutinising redevelopment plans and heritage impacts across the borough.

Wandsworth Council's Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee is currently scrutinising redevelopment plans for a site at 2 Altenburg Gardens, historically linked to Professor Moriarty's inspiration. In September 2026, the committee raised concerns regarding the proposed residential conversion, specifically about the drawings and potential impact on neighbours. This follows the committee's earlier discussions in January 2026, where it stressed the need for further archaeological investigation for a housing development at Bickley Street.

The committee's advisory role was highlighted in March 2026 when it expressed strong disappointment after planning permission for alterations to Chivalry Hall was granted by delegated authority, despite its unanimous objections over heritage concerns. Conversely, in January 2026, the committee unanimously supported redevelopment plans for 110-112 Putney High Street, noting the retention of the original facade and enhancement of the street view.
