In terms of Planning advice cases, the GLA cannot search by developer as our system is
searchable via address only.
If you wish to know whether a developer sought planning advice on a specific site then the GLA will require the specific site details in order to undertake a search. I am advised that it is unlikely the GLA will hold any information beyond the Agent and Applicant.
If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact us, quoting
