@cllr_andywilson @BBCNewsnight @CampaignSkyline So your logic is: because others might overrule us and make decisions that erode London’s fabric, we should anticipate them and accelerate the process? Surely we should be influencing other to grow a city that works for the many and not just the few developers that own land.

What will London look like when 100s of planned towers are built? Watch @BBCNewsnight to find out

It's a classic tragedy of the commons - councils don't make decisions for the common good and no one stands up for the skyline. @CampaignSkyline

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

“Concreting over such a large amount of open space is in contravention of the council’s own policy of ‘depaving’ to mitigate flood risk”. Where have we heard this before? @lambeth_council taking decisions that contravene it’s own policy? Surely not!

The inquiry has been railroaded through by @lambeth_council and @TfL , a week before Christmas. Only one pro-bus station witness allowed. Shameful || Huge towers to replace Vauxhall bus station https://t.co/njlqdVNwoW

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

London is falling prey to an epidemic of tower building - see this video from @CampaignSkyline https://t.co/4hy2OTxmcN Unfortunately, it looks like Nine Elms is becoming ever more infected as well - even outside the tall buildings zone!

[Patmore Cooperative @patmorecoop]

Towering 70 mtrs above residents! Significant daylight reductions @lambeth_council own admission. Huge increase traffic/pollution for our residents. But @lambeth_council approves this plan. @cllr_andywilson @ClairWilcox1 @CllrJSimpson @9ElmsResidents @OasisPlay @VauxhallGreens

Sorry for mis-spelling your name Nicole Griffiths @StreathamGreens

@ClairWilcox1 @CllrJSimpson @LambethLabour Sadly, we lost yesterday evening's @lambeth_council planning cttee vote by 3:2 votes.
Cllr Nicola Griffiths from @Lambethgp took a principled stand against the height of the #BeastofBelmore. @benkind also voted against, mainly because of poor traffic mgmt plans

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

.@jeremycorbyn wasn't the only one struggling to answer questions last night. At @LambethLabour controlled Lambeth Planning Cttee about the #BeastofBelmore, some basic questions were going unanswered too. Read all about it and sign whilst you're there: https://t.co/VnvXtHoDVg

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

@ClairWilcox1 @CllrJSimpson @LambethLabour @lambeth_council @Lambethgp @benkind But don't worry, the campaign will go on so keep signing our petition! This won't be the last word! https://t.co/miiT6inq1Y @larkhallfriends @WeLoveLarkhall @WeLoveVauxhall @kovforum @FOVauxhallPark @VauxhallGardens @OasisPlay @PrioryArms83 @VauxhallGreens @patmorecoop @lambethgp

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

Did you know that the #BeastofBelmore causes "no adverse impact on local views"? That is what @ClairWilcox1 @CllrJSimpson and @Lambethlabour must think to be able to grant planning to this Tower without breaking their own policy (see Q26, p139 here: https://t.co/u0D4E2OLhZ)

We will have representations @lambeth_council planning committee tonight.Thank you @9ElmsResidents for working on this diligently and @wandbc for joining with their objections too. Read more below from Patmore in the press about why we object to this! https://t.co/poZH1Bxpoh

More press coverage about tomorrow’s crunch meeting with @lambeth_council’s planning committee. Levels of outrage are running high not just from residents but even from other councils!

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

@lambeth_council As well as lots of press, now >1,000 signatures against #BeastofBelmore. The planning process has been highly irregular & judgments in report are w/o foundation

@VauxhallGrove @lambeth_council @patmorecoop @LarkhallFriends Thank you for RT @VauxhallGrove If you are interested in a longer story (but would have to be today), @stuart_snowden is probably happy to brief!

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

.@lambeth_council's report on #BeastofBelmore, is full of subtle bias. Eg 117 of 118 formal comments object, but the single supporting comment is repeatedly referred to in the plural ("supporting comments") and given disproportionate space. @patmorecoop @LarkhallFriends

@di_gress @LarkhallFriends @WeLoveLarkhall @WeLoveVauxhall @kovforum @FOVauxhallPark @VauxhallGardens @OasisPlay @PrioryArms83 @VauxhallGreens @FloEshalomi @CatharineHoey After more door-to-door conversations today we are now at a total of 961 signatures. Let's make it 1,000 by noon on Mon! @larkhallfriends @WeLoveLarkhall @WeLoveVauxhall @kovforum @FOVauxhallPark @VauxhallGardens @OasisPlay @PrioryArms83 @VauxhallGreens https://t.co/miiT6inq1Y

@patmorecoop @lambeth_council @Change As of this evening and after some more door-to-door petitioning we are now at 961 signatures... almost at 1,000.

@KeaneMJ @lambeth_council @patmorecoop @LarkhallFriends Thank you @KeaneMJ. Good to understand. I guess the line between using this appropriately and having an inappropriately close relationship becomes very fine.

[Patmore Cooperative @patmorecoop]

Thanks to the great work @9ElmsResidents this petition is taking off. Some Patmore residents will lose up to 54% light to their homes if this massive block is built and there has been NO CONSULTATION with Patmore from @lambeth_council https://t.co/IAe7MJ2RaN via @Change

[Nine Elms Residents @9ElmsResidents]

@KeaneMJ @lambeth_council @patmorecoop @LarkhallFriends How would we know or how could we find out if they did, @KeaneMJ
