Planning appeal decision
124-126 The Cut, London, SE1 8LN
Planning appeal 3355403 at 124-126 The Cut, London, SE1 8LN (London Borough of Lambeth) was dismissed on 13 August 2025 by Inspector O'Brien L, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the proposal on the visual amenity of the area.
a temporary open weave banner mesh advert situated upon a fully working access scaffold. The temporary scaffold upon the host building will be installed to allow completion of the approved redevelopment of the site. We propose to cover the scaffold with a shroud showing a 1-1 image of the host building behind the scaffold. A section of the shroud will from time to time show commercial adverts. When a commercial advert is not in situation the scaffold will revert to being dressed in a 1-1 montage image of the host building
