Vauxhall "Island Site" - Site Visit & Planning Committee Meeting

As mentioned in our previous article, Lambeth Council's Planning Applications Committee decided last month to hold a site visit with TfL at the Vauxhall "Island Site," in the centre of the Vauxhall Gyratory, to assess the impact of the proposed development by Kylun Ltd, which would see the construction of a 41-storey and a 32-storey tower at the site.

The site visit has now been scheduled for Saturday 12th March 2011, and will meet at 10:15 outside Phoenix House, 10 Wandsworth Road, London SW8 2LL (the Lambeth Council office at the centre of St. George Wharf). The site visit is open to members of the public who may wish to attend.

In addition, the application will be considered at the next Planning Applications Committee meeting, on Tuesday 15th March 2011, at 19:00 in Room 8, Ground Floor, Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton Hill, SW2 1RW. A summary of the comments received by Planning Officers will be reported to the Committee, and members of the public are also welcome to attend.
