Brixton Planning Applications
We
monitor local planning applications. Each Committee meeting considers
the most significant applications together with any that members have
brought to our attention. Where the Committee feels it expedient, we
comment on applications. That does not always mean opposition; we
support applications which gel with our aspirations. We have also
involved ourselves in planning appeals.
Planning applications may be viewed at The Town Planning Advice Centre
at Phoenix House, 10 Wandsworth Road, London SW8 2LL or at local
libraries.
They may
also be found online at the
PublicAccess website.
Lambeth Planning Policies
We
monitor proposed changes to Lambeth planning policies. This includes
such matters as changes to Conservation Areas. A major current
(2009-2010) interest is the change of the overarching policy documents
from the Unitary Development plan (UDP) to the Local Development
Framework (LDF).
Lambeth has
now (March 2010) adopted a policy for the local listing of buildings of
special architectural or historical interest which have not made it on
to the national list. Details may be found on their website
HERE.
London Planning Policies
We
monitor proposed changes to London planning policies. The
Mayor of London is responsible for THE LONDON PLAN and other key
planning policy documents which the Borough is obliged to follow when
determining planning applications. We always try to comment when such
documents are being revised.
National Planning Policies
We
monitor proposed changes to national planning policies. We recently
(November 2009) commented on the new, draft Planning Policy Guidance 15
(PPG15) which is a statement of Government policies on the protection of
historic buildings, conservation areas, etc. This document is a vital
part of the overall planning framework.
If you are aware of any planning issues which you think should be brought to our attention or you have any queries, please contact:
