Residents, community groups, businesses, and partners are invited to share their views on how they want their neighbourhoods shaped to be improved over the next 15 years. You can get involved via in-person pop-up events at key locations across the borough, online group sessions, or the online survey.
Cllr Scott Ainslie, Lambeth’s Cabinet Member for Planning and Development, Built Environment, and Public Realm, said:“This new administration wants a resident and local business-led Lambeth – where everyone’s voice is listened to and included in shaping the areas we all live, work and wish to thrive in over the next 10-15 years.”
“We want you to help the council build a borough that works best for you as we seek your views on developing a new Local Plan. Come and tell us what is working well where you are, what is not working so well, what needs to improve and how you want to stay involved as this whole plan takes shape over the next 30 months.”
“We are not doing a box-ticking exercise; the themes we have set out, from housing to climate, to how people get around, will only mean something if they are shaped by real, lived-experience on the ground. – You live and work there. You are best placed to help make your area even better.”
“This will be a plan designed by communities, with residents and businesses playing a key role in shaping their neighbourhoods and delivering community wealth building across Lambeth.”
The first stage of the Local Plan seeks views on what issues should be included to shape and improve the borough: housing, community facilities, jobs, climate, getting around, and high-quality design and heritage. It will also ask people how they would like to be engaged throughout the development of the Plan.
Pop- up events will be happening at:

You can sign up for these events by visiting the Local Plan Go- Vocal page.
For those who are unable to partake in the various activities, you can fill out the online survey.
Following the end of this consultation period, the initial findings will be worked up for the next stages of the Local Plan consultation process which will take place next year.
