Planning Data Map

The Mayor’s Planning Unit are working with London’s planning authorities on an ambitious project to collate and share spatial planning data for the whole of London. The aim is to create a single map that can become the definitive source for London’s planning data, providing site-specific information on planning designations and constraints for professionals and the general public alike.

The first (beta) version of the map is now online. It contains the following data sets:

Good growth

• Brownfield Registers
• Site Allocations
• Opportunity Areas
• Town Centres
• Areas of Intensification
• Central Activities Zone
• SHLAA approvals and allocations

Protection

• Designated Open Space
• Site of Importance for Nature Conservation
• Sites of Special Scientific Interest
• Flood Risk
• Conservation Areas
• Strategic Industrial Locations
• Locally Significant Industrial Sites
• Safeguarded Wharves
• Article 4 Directions: Office to Residential
• Protected vistas

Context

• Housing Zones
• Creative Enterprise Zones

As well as being able to see the opportunities and constraints offered by the planning system on a London-wide basis for the first time, you will also be able to download the data for your own use.

We are now looking for feedback on how we can make the map better. For example what other information can we add or how can the functionality be improved? The map will continue to evolve to ensure it is as useful as possible.
