Planning Consultants in London
London's planning system is uniquely complex, with the Mayor of London's London Plan sitting above individual borough Local Plans. All applications of strategic importance require referral to the Mayor. Development in London frequently involves heritage assets, tall buildings policy, affordable housing obligations, and the Mayor's protected vistas. Pre-application engagement with both the borough and the GLA is essential for larger schemes.
