Thank you for contacting the RBKC Planning department.

You can search, view and comment on applications using the Planning Applications Search on the council's website. The service is updated regularly, and key milestones and target dates are shown under "Proposal Details".

If you have submitted an application that is still within its statutory determination period, or an agreed extension of time, a progress update may not yet be available. If you need to speak to the planning officer dealing with your application, you can email them directly. Their contact details can be found in:

  • your planning application acknowledgement letter
  • any emails or letters about your application

For more information about planning applications, planning guidance, planning enforcement and other planning services, visit planning and building control.

Planning advice for your business or property is also available through our pre-application advice.

We also consulted last year on its ‘Charter for Public Participation’. The Charter is wider than just planning and is about making it easy for people to get involved in Council decision-making. Further details can be found on the Charter for Public Participation page.

The current Statement of Community Involvement document titled IPIP is detailed below. 

Involving People in Planning (IPIP) is a document that sets out how people can engage with the planning system, including planning applications, planning policy and neighbourhood plans.

The IPIP replaces the previous Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) in Planning which was approved in 2007. The adoption of IPIP took place by a key decision in December 2013.
