Welcome

 Anthology/Lifestory Group (The developer and appellant)

As you probably recall the developer submitted an appeal to the planning inspectorate on 13 March 2020 to have a public inquiry in order to secure permission for their proposed development scheme for the former Woodlands nursing home site. They have submitted over fifty documents to achieve that aim. Unfortunately, due to the size and complexity of those files we are unable to host them on our website. However, Lambeth Planning Authority will be hosting those documents on a dedicated webpage which should be up and running by the week ending 25 October 2020. We will keep you posted when it goes live.

Lambeth Planning Authority (Lambeth)

Lambeth has produced nine documents which are either main proofs of their evidence for the inquiry, a summary of that evidence and a supporting document containing diagrams/figures. 

You can see: 

• The main evidence regarding the planning issues here and there is a summary of that evidence here
• Lambeth's concerns regarding the unit size (i.e.one bed, two bed and lack of three bed accommodation) here and there is a summary of that evidence here.
• The proof of evidence with regards to Lambeth's concerns on design, townscape impact, effect on heritage assets (including listed buildings conservation areas), protected views, poor quality communal and play space amenity can be found here, with a summary here. There are also some interesting diagrams and figures which illustrate the potential visual impact of the proposed scheme which can be viewed here.
• Finally, Lambeth has submitted proofs of evidence in relation to the potential adverse impact on existing residential homes in terms of loss of daylight to rooms and sunlight into gardens. They have also raised concerns regarding the inadequate amenity of the scheme for future occupiers of the development. You can see the main information here and a summary is available here.

Please note that the documents mentioned above are also hosted on Lambeth's planning portal here. Even though these documents on the portal are noted as "redacted" Lambeth has advised us that there are no differences in the versions of those documents you are accessing here and those hosted by Lambeth.

Stop the Blocks Community Action Group (StB)

Stop the Blocks Community Action Group also commissioned a review of the proposed scheme with the view to putting forward a proof of evidence of the issues on behalf of the group, you can view that information here.
