Planning

Plans for vitalising Streatham Green are being examined by Lambeth Council following extensive consultation with the local community. Key features of the new green are “amphitheatre” steps, low level planting, a sensory garden, natural play climbing areas and picnic tables. Wildlife will be attracted, and people will come and enjoy the new vision argue the architects.

Lambeth Planners face a tricky decision on Streatham Hill Theatre’s future with its planned use as a church. The Local Plan, if we trust it, boldly states, “The council will support the regeneration of the former Streatham Hill Theatre to become a major leisure and entertainment venue alongside workspace for creative and cultural industries”.
