Neighbourhood planning

Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area.

There are currently 2 made neighbourhood plans in Lambeth, one at South Bank and Waterloo and the other at Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall.

If you are considering a neighbourhood plan for your area, please take a look at National Planning Practice Guidance and read the Council’s policy on giving advice and assistance to local groups at the different stages of the neighbourhood planning process in our Statement of Community Involvement. Please also look at the development plan policies that are already in place in Lambeth in the London Plan 2021 and Lambeth Local Plan 2021. Once you have considered these documents, please get in touch with us by email on planningpolicy@lambeth.gov.uk to arrange an initial discussion.
