A local campaigner, Rebekah Shaman, successfully challenged Lambeth council's decision to approve large music festivals in Brockwell Park. The court ruled that the usage exceeded permitted development rules, impacting the park's ecology and community. Shaman's group, Protect Brockwell Park, argued that ongoing events had turned parts of the park into mud baths and were damaging its heritage. This ruling may prevent upcoming festivals this summer, sparking debates about public space use and local community rights against commercial interests.
Rebekah Shaman, a local resident, expressed concerns about the ecological damage and community disruption caused by the festivals in Brockwell Park, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach.
Mr Justice Mould ruled that the Lambeth council's approval of festival activities in Brockwell Park was irrational, highlighting the legal boundaries on land use for public events.
