Do you have any comments on the revised Part 1 of the SPD?

Paragraph 1.47 is being largely ignored by developers in Lambeth as they propose new high density buildings which in reality are proposed to be up to just under 45m. The wording in this policy is not strong enough to encourage alignment with paragraph 1.47 and developers will seek to justify divergence to it by stating that they are "optimising development". The wording in paragraph 1.44 to 1.47 needs a stronger emphasis on proposed building heights to be aligned with existing building heights unless there is valid evidence that it will not cause unacceptable harm to context and existing residents amenity.

Pg. 22 - There is no sense to the colouring of Fig 6 Lambeth character zones. Is there a key or any reason for the tones? If not it would be clearer as a flat colour. Pg 4 - 'Comply or justify' principle should IMO also have limited weight where it relates to impacts on amenity and outlook of neighbouring residential properties to a development.
