GLA Planning Statements

Planning for London’s future, one project at a time

GLA Planning Statements help shape successful development in London. If your project is large, complex, or has a significant impact, you may need to demonstrate alignment with the Greater London Authority’s (GLA) planning framework. GLA Planning Statements (also called London Planning Statements or LPS) are detailed reports showing how a proposal supports the Mayor’s priorities for sustainable growth, better communities, and a resilient city.

GLA Planning Statements matter because they are often required for developments that exceed set thresholds or could change the landscape of an area. For developers, these statements show that you understand and address London’s strategic policies, giving you a better chance of a smoother planning process. For local authorities, GLA Planning Statements provide confidence that proposals support wider city goals. For architects, planners, and investors, they offer a clear route to compliance and better project outcomes.

Why are GLA Planning Statements necessary?

Regulatory requirement: Projects over certain size or impact limits must submit a GLA Planning Statement as part of the planning process.

Quicker planning approvals: Demonstrating alignment with the London Plan and supplementary guidance helps to avoid delays and objections.

Clarity for all parties: Clear statements show how the development addresses sustainability, inclusivity, transport, infrastructure, and environmental standards.

Long-term project value: Meeting GLA expectations helps future-proof investments and strengthens project delivery.
