I am writing to you as you are registered on the Lambeth Council planning consultation database.
You will be aware that the council wrote to you on the 31 January 2020 to inform you of the consultation on the
Draft Revised Local Plan, 2020 (Regulation 19 Publication version), which is open for comment between 31 January and 13 March 2020.
I am now writing to you to inform you that the council is also consulting on two new draft Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) as listed below, that provide additional advice and guidance on policies contained within the new Draft Revised Local Plan, 2020:
The consultation period for both SPDs will be open between
11 February 2020 and 11pm on the 7 April 2020.
Following the close of the consultation period on the 7 April 2020 the council will review the responses and consider whether any proposed amendments to the draft SPDs are required before commencing another round of statutory consultation later in the year.
Unlike the Local Plan the council is not obliged to prepare SPDs, which are non-statutory planning documents, but instead will prepare SPDs where it is considered that further guidance on the application of certain policies within the plan is required. The draft SPDs are material considerations that the council will take into account when considering planning applications within the borough but cannot be given full weight in decision-making until the ‘parent’ policies within the new Revised Draft Local Plan are adopted. The SPDs cannot be adopted before this process is complete. It is anticipated that the SPDs will be finalised and adopted alongside, or shortly after, the Draft Revised Local Plan anticipated in early 2021.
For full details of the consultation please access the council’s
consultation webpage or the Commonplace portals as set out below.
