70% of the 37 applications decided in Brixton North, Lambeth, between February 2026 and October 2026, were approved; half were decided within 58 days; across Lambeth, 64% of the refusals read were refused at least in part over design or the character of the area. Plan Forecast, 6 November 2026.
Time to decide: half were decided within 58 days, counted from the day the application was valid (or received, where the register gives no valid date) over the 33 decisions with both dates.
Across Lambeth: what refusals were about
Of the 99 refusals whose decision notices we read, the share that gave a reason about each.
- Design and character of the area 64% That the work suits the house and the street: its size, its shape, its roof and its materials.
- Neighbours' amenity 31% That the neighbours keep reasonable light, outlook and privacy: no wall that looms over them, and no window that overlooks their home or garden more than the council judges acceptable.
- Heritage assets 17% That the work does no harm to the character or appearance of a conservation area, or to a listed building, its setting or what makes it special. The council gives that great weight, and any harm needs clear justification.
Lambeth as a whole granted a comparable share across 1,409 decisions. See the whole council.
