Strategic Planning
The Mayor is a statutory consultee for planning applications which are strategically important to London as defined by the Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2000. He is able to comment on these applications and, if he considers it appropriate on strategic grounds, direct the London borough to refuse planning permission. The Mayor currently cannot direct approval. The Mayor's planning decisions are available online.
The GLA is committed to providing the highest possible quality of pre-planning
application advice. On 5 November 2007 the GLA introduced a pre-planning
application charging scheme. This new service is being introduced with the
income received entirely dedicated to providing and enhancing the pre-planning application advice service.
