Notes to editors
- The Mayor is consulted on all planning applications that are of potential strategic importance (PSI) to London. These are commonly known as ‘referred’ applications. The criteria includes: development of 150 residential units or more; development over 30 metres in height (outside the City of London) and development on Green Belt or Metropolitan Open Land.
- Read the agenda papers.
- Andrew Boff AM, Chair of the Planning Committee, is available for interview.

- As well as investigating issues that matter to Londoners, the London Assembly acts as a check and a balance on the Mayor
