Proposals have been submitted to section off parts of Clapham Common for a range of outdoor events this summer. EventLambeth – the Council’s events service – are seeking planning permission to host 12 events over a 63-day period from May 8, 2021 and October 2, 2021. The proposals submitted to the Planning Applications Committee ask for: “Temporary use of Clapham Common for a range of events in 2021, involving installation and de-installation of temporary infrastructure including fencing, lighting, PA systems, Stages and other temporary structures, and other ancillary works.” The Committee will consider the proposals when it next meets online on April 20. The Council’s Events Strategy 2020-2025 is considered alongside the application, which gives the Council and local community greater control over the scale and management of events on Clapham Common while ensuring a “sustainable benefit to parks and local communities.”
