Planning Aid for London provides free support on town planning and development. We work with people and communities in London who cannot afford professional support.
If you care about your home and neighbourhood, you need to know a bit about how planning works. The planning system can seem complicated. But it’s vital in many decisions about our future. You might want to reduce pollution in your high street or get more play spaces for children. If so, you will need planning. Planning Aid London is here to help you find your way through the process.
Community Planning Advice Service
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Community Planning Advice Service, a new initiative by Planning Aid for London in partnership with the City of Westminster.
This service is designed to support individuals, community groups, and local organisations in Westminster by providing free, accessible planning guidance for major planning applications.
