“Concreting over such a large amount of open space is in contravention of the council’s own policy of ‘depaving’ to mitigate flood risk”. Where have we heard this before? Lambeth Council taking decisions that contravene it’s own policy? Surely not!

What will London look like when 100s of planned towers are built? Watch BBC Newsnight to find out

It's a classic tragedy of the commons - councils don't make decisions for the common good and no one stands up for the skyline. Skyline Campaign

London is falling prey to an epidemic of tower building - see this video from Skyline Campaign vimeo.com/134645376 Unfortunately, it looks like Nine Elms is becoming ever more infected as well - even outside the tall buildings zone!

Awful news! We feel the pain of the community there because we are going through exactly the same troubles with the intrusive Graphite Square development! 3 huge towers in a low rise neighbourhood destroying our soul & health!

Towering 70 mtrs above residents! Significant daylight reductions Lambeth Council own admission. Huge increase traffic/pollution for our residents. But Lambeth Council approves this plan. @cllr_andywilson Clair Wilcox Joanne Simpson Nine Elms Residents Oasis Play Stockwell Vauxhall Green Party

.Jeremy Corbyn wasn't the only one struggling to answer questions last night. At Lambeth Labour controlled Lambeth Planning Cttee about the #BeastofBelmore , some basic questions were going unanswered too. Read all about it and sign whilst you're there: change.org/p/lambeth-coun…

We will have representations Lambeth Council planning committee tonight.Thank you Nine Elms Residents for working on this diligently and Wandsworth Council for joining with their objections too. Read more below from Patmore in the press about why we object to this! yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/18059102.…

Thanks to the great work Nine Elms Residents this petition is taking off. Some Patmore residents will lose up to 54% light to their homes if this massive block is built and there has been NO CONSULTATION with Patmore from Lambeth Council chng.it/k2BDfRDV via Change.org

Thank you digress. >100 signatures yesterday on doorsteps & now at 850. Only 150 to go! Sign: chng.it/PRR8LMgW

.Lambeth Council's report on #BeastofBelmore , is full of subtle bias. Eg 117 of 118 formal comments object, but the single supporting comment is repeatedly referred to in the plural ('supporting comments') and given disproportionate space. Patmore Cooperative Friends of Larkhall Park

.Florence Eshalomi MP we have tried to contact you in the past, but the nature of this report adds urgency. The olannimg cttee has been scheduled at short notice for Tue 26th. Can you attend and support us? See big local support here: change.org/p/lambeth-coun…

I don’t know why that size / height of a development is needed when even the buildings that sit between Embassy Gardens and Nine Elms Park (along train line) have ceased development half-way, for months! I’m guessing due to over-supply or finance issues of the developer
