Planning applications, drawings, surveys & compliance reports across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London.

Planning World supports householder, commercial and strategic development projects across the entire London Region. We prepare planning applications, architectural drawings and technical reports that align with borough‑specific policies, the London Plan, local design codes and detailed validation requirements.

Areas We Cover in London

We work across all 33 planning authorities in London:

Inner London Boroughs

Each borough has its own local plan, design guides, conservation area appraisals and validation checklists. We tailor every submission to the specific borough’s requirements.

Change of use – retail to café/restaurant, office to residential, community uses and other use‑class changes.
Heritage‑sensitive proposals – listed buildings, conservation areas and historic streetscapes.

Commercial & mixed‑use schemes – shopfronts, office refurbishments, extensions and upper‑floor conversions.

Key Planning Considerations in London

Across the London Region, we routinely address:

The London Plan – strategic policies on design, density, sustainability, transport and housing.
Design & character – ensuring proposals respect local character, scale, materials and streetscene.
Heritage & conservation – listed buildings, conservation areas, protected views and historic settings.
Residential amenity – daylight/sunlight, overlooking, privacy, overbearing impact and outdoor space.
Transport & parking – car‑free developments, cycle storage, servicing and access.
Flood risk & drainage – especially in riverside and low‑lying areas.
Environmental & sustainability requirements – energy statements, circular economy, urban greening and biodiversity net gain.
