Some time ago the Council consulted on a new Masterplan for Brixton. This was written up and agreed in principle by the Council. The next stage is to formalise this in planning terms by writing up a "Supplementary Planning Document". Might sound tedious bureaucracy but the detail is important.
The Council are starting to consult on this now. The draft planning principles have been agreed:
Stage 1: Draft planning principles
Brixton is unique. It is a major and distinctive town centre in the heart of Lambeth. Its many strengths include its vibrancy, creativity, culture, diversity and heritage. Brixton’s unique character will be the foundation for new development which should strengthen existing neighbourhoods and support diversity. Draft Planning Principles have been prepared for further consultation and co-development with key stakeholders including residents, business, community groups, and public and private sector organisations. The principles are outlined below.

As a cooperative council, we want to give local people more involvement in and control of the places where they live. You can help us to shape this SPD by getting involved in the consultation this summer. Full details of events and activities will be available here and you can also sign up to receive e-updates.
