Brockwell Park in south London has become the center of a dispute over planned music festivals, culminating in a legal ruling against the council for lack of proper planning permissions. Local group Protect Brockwell Park (PBP) argued that the council's use of permitted development rules to quickly approve multiple events limited public access beyond the stated 28 days. The court sided with PBP, yet the festivals proceeded amid public outcry, illustrating the ongoing tension between residents concerned about park access and a city eager for nightlife events.
"We fucked your wall. Brockwell is now the hottest front in a conflict that has started to rear its head in the capital every summer."
"The authority responsible for the park lost a case brought by Protect Brockwell Park, arguing that the council had not obtained the proper planning permissions for the events."
