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

Planning advice for your business or property is also available through our pre-application advice.
CTMP guidance
Construction Traffic Management Plans (CTMPs)
If you applied for planning permission for your development and a condition of the planning consent was a CTMP, it needs to be formally discharged before you can start work on site.
If you start work before the CTMP is discharged, we could take enforcement action.
Apply to discharge a CTMP condition
You need to apply to the Department of Planning and Place who will consult the Transport Planning Team.
To apply:
- complete the pro-forma in full - use the guidance notes (in blue) on the form to help you
- send the pro-forma with your completed application form
Any questions that you feel do not apply to your development should be marked N/A.
The Council must formally approve your application before work starts.

Approval process
It can take up to eight weeks to approve a CTMP. This depends on the:
- quality of your initial submission
- complexity of your project
If you do not submit the CTMP using the correct pro-forma, the approval process will be delayed. Your application could be returned and you may have to resubmit it in the correct format.
The Department of Planning and Place must formally discharge your application before we can grant any licences for temporary structures on the highway and parking suspensions.
Red routes
If your development is on or adjacent to the Transport for London Road Network (red route), you will also need to liaise with Transport for London (TfL). TfL can issue licences you need, including scaffold licences.
Get help
Our Planning Advice Service can help you prepare a CTMP.

Other than through the Planning Advice Service, it is not possible to meet contractors or review drafts of CTMPs before a formal application is submitted.
