The Planning Application for the Lambeth College development at 45 Clapham Common South Side is now live on the Lambeth Council website. The proposal is for seven buildings ranging from six to 10 (facing the Common) to 13 storeys. Comments will be taken by officers until 9 January 2023, although officially residents had until mid November 2022 to respond. The sooner comments are in, however, the better.

Clapham Common relating back to older history.
