72% of the 32 applications decided in Kennington, Lambeth, between May 2026 and October 2026, were approved; across Lambeth, 62% of the refusals read were refused at least in part over design or the character of the area. Plan Forecast, 5 November 2026.
Across Lambeth: what refusals were about
Of the 68 refusals whose decision notices we read, the share that gave a reason about each.
- Design and character of the area 62% That the work suits the house and the street: its size, its shape, its roof and its materials.
- Neighbours' amenity 34% 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 18% 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 902 decisions. See the whole council.
