A campaigner has successfully challenged Lambeth Council's decision to use Brockwell Park for extensive music festivals, with the High Court ruling the certification process as irrational. Rebekah Shaman, from the Protect Brockwell Park group, argued against the planned usage of the park for 37 days, which exceeds the 28-day limit set under temporary change of use regulations. The High Court judge, Mr Justice Mould, not only ruled in her favor but also denied appeals from Lambeth Council and festival organizers, signaling the importance of local community voices in urban planning and land use decisions.
In a critical ruling, the High Court found Lambeth Council's decision to allow the use of Brockwell Park for music festivals over 37 days was 'irrational', impacting local community protections.
The legal challenge, spearheaded by Rebekah Shaman from Protect Brockwell Park, highlights ongoing tensions between large events and community interests in urban green spaces.
