Date of response:

Summary of request

Your request

How much has the council received in planning application fees in total for each of the last five financial years (2017-18 to 2021-22)?

Can you provide the planning department budget for each of those years, and how
much the department actually spent?

Can you provide the three figures in a spread sheet under headings: planning fee
income, budget, actual spend?

Over the same period, can you provide a list of roles within the planning department
and the month and year they became vacant, and how many months each role was vacant for?

Our response

The Mayor of London supported by the Greater London Authority is a strategic planning authority and does not receive any planning applications fees. We therefore do not hold the information you have requested. You would need to contact the individual local Borough Councils.

Information regarding the budget is published on our website. Please refer to Q4 reports for FY Budget, Income and Expenditure for Strategic Planning within the Net Revenue Expenditure table. 

No relevant roles within our planning department have remained vacant for any significant period in this timescale.

If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact us, quoting 
reference MGLA160822-7349.
