About us
Planning Aid for London has been providing free advice and training on town planning for individuals and communities in London for over 40 years. We offer free advice and information through our volunteers (qualified planners and legal specialists). 15 min advice is provided to people who are affected by planning proposals or decisions and who cannot pay for planning advice.

News
June 2020
Since June 2020 we have been expanding our advice and training services. A new website will be launched later this year. Long-term casework support for community groups seeking to influence development and planning in their neighbourhoods will be available again from early next year. Priority will be given to communities currently underrepresented in planning decisions. Please see our press release here for more information.
Contact Koen Rutten at info@planningaidforlondon.org.uk to find out more about the new services, and follow @Planaidlondon for updates.
The expanded services are created and delivered in partnership with the Town and Country Planning Association, with support from Trust for London.
February 2020
With great sadness we heard of the death of PAL Chair Pat Castledine. On top of her many other interests and achievements, she was a tireless and inspirational supporter of Planning Aid for London. She will be very much missed by all at the charity. Any donations in her memory can be made to Kings College Charity or the British Lung Foundation.
