Planning Aid for London provides free support on town planning and development. We help 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 boring and complicated. But it’s vital in many decisions about our future. For example, you want to reduce pollution in your high street. Or get more play spaces for children or affordable housing in your area. You will need planning for this. Planning Aid London is here to help you find your way through the process.
