Lambeth Council's Cabinet approved the Site Allocations Development Plan Document, planning 830 new homes and guiding future development.
Lambeth Council's Cabinet approved the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (SADPD) in September 2026. This document allocates 13 key development sites and plans for approximately 830 new homes across the borough. Its adoption gives the plan full weight in decision-making, guiding planned development and supporting the delivery of new homes, jobs, and community facilities.
During the September 2026 Cabinet meeting, Councillor Scott Ainslie, Cabinet Member for Property, Planning, Built Environment and Public Realm, faced questions regarding the council's policy on tall buildings. Councillor Danny Adilipour raised concerns about specific proposals within the SADPD, including Liam Court Road, Carthark, and Disused Public Toilet Sites.
The SADPD identifies specific sites across the borough for potential development, including new homes, employment spaces, and other uses. A report to the Cabinet said the document underwent extensive public consultation and independent examination, with the planning inspectorate finding the plan sound subject to modifications.
