What PlanWatch Is Tracking in City of London

PlanWatch currently holds 827 City of London planning records across 270 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2025-08-31 to 2026-09-01. The most common categories in this dataset are Full (535), Conditions (102), Listed Building (42).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Objecting to a Planning Application in City of London

City of London Council can only weigh objections that raise a material planning consideration. Personal disputes, loss of a view and property value are not material and are set aside.

Then write the objection letter, or check what counts as a material consideration before you start. Objections normally have to reach City of London Council inside the 21-day consultation window.
