We have reported on two occasions about the ongoing draft review of the Lambeth Local Plan. This revised Local Plan will set out the vision for the development of the borough for the next 15 years (at least in theory).

In our last website news story we invited questions about the draft plan as we had arranged a meeting with Lambeth Council planning and transport officers, Councillors and other invited local groups as there were a number of areas where we wanted clarity. We provide links to the Lambeth Council consultation page and key documents below.

Councils face unprecedented challenges over the next five years: increasing and changing demand for services while facing continued budget cuts until the mid-2020s. Most Council spending supports our most vulnerable residents.

Although difficult decisions will be required, with the Council’s capacity for growth and change, a diverse and dynamic population, and a position at the centre of one of the world’s great cities, Lambeth states it is well placed to develop a local economy that can support our vulnerable residents.

Lambeth Council’s Local Plan sets out the vision for the development of the borough for the next 15 years - but some updates are needed to ensure it is in line with national planning law and policy and the Mayor of London’s London Plan. The current consultation on draft changes runs until 17 December.  We published an article on our website on this on 30 October.

Streetworks has published a statement in response to issues raised by some businesses on Norwood Road about the pavement widening and relocation of car parking. These arose at a public meeting on 10 September.
