Introduction
Welcome to the first instalment of our A-Z of London Planning. This serves as
a go-to for anyone working within, or having an interest in the London
property market.
Using data taken from government departments, the GLA and multiple other
sources, as well as local insights from our team of in-house specialists, this
directory has been designed as a visual overview of the demographic,
socio-economic and planning traits defining each of the 32 Boroughs, the
City of London and the Greater London Authority.
Our aim for this guide was to produce a high-level, easy-to-digest summary
of the crucial facets of London planning. It covers topics such as housing
delivery, planning performance, population change and planning policy – all
of which can be benchmarked against other UK cities.
