The Assistant Director in the Planning Service is a role within Lambeth Council's department that recently approved a hotel conversion in Vauxhall.

Lambeth Council's Planning Service, which includes the Assistant Director role, is responsible for decisions such as the approval in July 2025 of plans to convert Phoenix House in Vauxhall into a hotel (1713).

The Planning Applications Committee greenlit the proposal for Phoenix House, located at 10 Wandsworth Road, despite concerns about the loss of potential office space, after reviewing evidence of low demand in the area (1713).
