We have a Google discussion group via which items for feedback (planning and licensing applications and enforcement matters, funding opportunities, ideas for events etc) are circulated, and we encourage you to join it. You can receive updates as they are posted, or as a weekly or daily digest, depending on your preference. If you don't already have a Google account you will need to create one.
The Deptford Society's aims are:
• to protect and enhance the character and appearance of the Deptford High Street & St Paul's and the Deptford Creekside Conservation Areas as described in the conservation area appraisals of November 2019 and May 2012 respectively.
• to be the recognised amenity group for planning applications within these two conservation areas, and to review and respond to planning applications to ensure they are consistent and in keeping with the Conservation Area appraisals and conservation law.
• to consult with Lewisham Council on all relevant matters within the geographical boundaries of the conservation areas
• to raise awareness of the area’s history and special character through events, online information and printed material.
• to cooperate with other amenity and community societies in the borough on planning and related issues.
