Transport for London

Pre-application advice

The London skyline from Greenwich Pre-application advice can help you to ensure your planning application complies with the London Plan and the Mayor's transport strategy

In line with the Greater London Authority (GLA) Planning Decisions Unit, we operate a separate system of charging for pre-application advice.

If you have gone through a GLA pre-application meeting, it is likely that the TfL representative would become the main TfL contact and the case officer for the scheme, and also chair TfL pre-planning meeting(s).

Within 10 working days of the meeting, providing no further research or site investigation is required, we will send you a detailed advice letter, unless you request not to receive one. 

This outlines the major transport planning issues and the constraints and requirements that have been agreed.

Applicable fees

Fees are £2,300 (excl VAT) for the first meeting and £800 for follow-up meetings.

In the case of significant scale proposals with highly complex issues, a fee will be agreed with the applicant for a programme of meetings, with the level of charge discounted accordingly.

Any fee received by the LUP team for pre-application advice is non-refundable.
