The Planning Applications Committee of Lambeth Council is scheduled to convene on Tuesday 23 June 2026. The committee's agenda includes the consideration of two significant planning applications: one for a mixed-use development at 90-96 Norwood High Street and another for a change of use at 35-43 Bondway.

90-96 Norwood High Street, London (Knight's Hill)

The committee is set to review a proposal for the demolition of existing buildings at 90-96 Norwood High Street¹ and the erection of a part three-storey, part four-storey, and part five-storey mixed-use development. This development would comprise 14 residential units and 615m² of Use Class E(g) floorspace², with refuse and cycle storage provision at ground floor level. Officer recommendations suggest granting conditional planning permission, subject to the completion of a satisfactory deed under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990³ to secure various planning obligations. These obligations are intended to address matters such as affordable housing⁴, energy and sustainability⁵, transport⁶, employment and skills⁷, and environmental contributions⁸. The report notes that this application is a resubmission of a previously refused scheme, with the Inspector's decision on a subsequent appeal highlighting the importance of securing planning obligations⁹.

35-43 Bondway, London (Vauxhall)

Another key item on the agenda is a proposal for a change of use at 35-43 Bondway¹⁰. The application seeks to change the use from a hostel for single homeless men (sui generis)¹¹ to a hostel for visitor accommodation (sui generis)¹². The development would encompass basement, ground, first, second, and third floors, providing 209 bed spaces. Officer recommendations are to grant conditional planning permission, also subject to the completion of a satisfactory deed under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990¹³. This deed would address obligations related to transport¹⁴ and energy and sustainability¹⁵. The report indicates that the proposed use is considered acceptable for the location, contributing to regeneration and economic activity within the Vauxhall area¹⁶. The Agent of Change principle¹⁷ has been considered in relation to the adjacent nightclub use, with mitigation measures proposed to ensure its operation is not compromised.

The committee will also receive the minutes from previous meetings, and attendees are reminded of the procedures for declaring interests. The agenda documents, including the full reports pack, are available on the Lambeth Council website¹⁸¹⁹.
