Rush Common land policy and guidance note

Lambeth Council is committed to preserving and improving Rush Common Land. This is a much valued and historic area of land whose character and open space provide a valuable amenity to Brixton.

In order to support this, the council has produced Rush Common Policy and Guidance Note.

This was approved by the Corporate Committee in September 2007. This document promotes the importance and value of this land and provides guidance for works which require Rush Common consent. Building works or new structures above the surface of the earth require Rush Common consent even if planning permission is not required.

Because of the complexities of the Rush Common legislation advice should be sought before any works are undertaken.

A copy of the policy and guidance note along with associated documents can be downloaded and viewed and below.

If you have any questions or need advice on Rush Common issues or what works require consent you can email PlanningImplementation@lambeth.gov.uk.
