Planning Aid for London (PAL) offers free advice to individuals and groups with questions about planning, regeneration, neighbouring development, building work and more. We also work with community groups that are faced with high levels of development, and want to have an influence on the planning process. Our advice is independent, professional, confidential, and free of charge.

See the Flyer  with more information about our offer; for further information you can also go to our website planningaidforlondon.org.uk.

When helpful, it is possible to refer clients, colleagues, or contacts to our advice line. The quickest way of obtaining planning advice is by submitting a planning enquiry. You can do this at planningaidforlondon.org.uk/contact/.
