A High Court judge has favored campaigners against upcoming music festivals in Brockwell Park, citing ecological repercussions and misuse of planning permissions. The Protect Brockwell Park group, supported by actor Mark Rylance, challenged Lambeth Council's festival approval, claiming the events exceed the permitted development timeline. The judge ruled the council's actions irrational, quashing the necessary certificate for the festivals. The ruling casts uncertainty on the festivals planned for next week, highlighting growing concerns over environmental impacts associated with large-scale events.
âMr Justice Mould ruled in favour of Ms Shaman, stating the council's decision to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was irrational.â
âCampaigners believe these large-scale festivals, which attract more than 285,000 attendees over nine days, are having an adverse ecological impact on the park.â
