Cllr Philip Normal
Oval Ward - Mayor of Lambeth
Dear Cllr Normal
I write to thank you for stepping
up to speak to the Planning Meeting in support of our objections, especially
against loss of light for those of us in basement flats.
I had a note from Cllr Wilcox
confirming how the votes went:
Hello Cathy – the
individual votes were recorded as part of the meeting and will be made
available in the recording but the minutes usually just give the overall
numbers. However, I just thought it would be easier to let you know that myself
and Cllrs Simpson, Seedat and Kind voted in favour of the application and Cllrs
Leigh, O’Hara and Thackray voted against.
Kind regards
Clair

Wilcox
Streatham South
Chair, Lambeth Planning Applications Committee
We were very disappointed indeed
that Cllr Simpson, of Princes Ward next door, and Deputy Chair of the PAC,
actually voted FOR the development to go ahead, the deciding vote, as the others voted 3:3 FOR and AGAINST
You are the only one of our elected members to represent us, which we
find baffling
No word from Oval Ward Cllrs Holland nor Hopkins - Leader of the
Council
A late apology from Florence Eshalomi; too busy, not surprising as both
our MP and GLA rep.
It rather flags up how poorly
represented Oval Ward is; so your support is much appreciated
We are left exhausted after a difficult year in so many ways.
Some of us are to lose 100% of
our daylight and Kennington’s charming heritage and conservation efforts of
many years to be damaged as well
Perhaps the global pandemic will
also kill off this development as so many are fleeing urban life for various
reasons, some by choice and others forced out
Anyway, we do thank you for your
support and wish you and yours all the best for the holidays
Best wishes
Cathy
