Our response
The GLA is London's strategic government and does not operate in the same way as local Borough Councils. We can provide you with the following information:
The Mayor is consulted on all planning applications that are of potential strategic importance to London. However, as a statutory consultee, and not a determining authority, we do not hold information relevant to your request, which you will need to seek from each individual planning authority.
