Planning performance agreement service

PPA charges are negotiated individually. They can include extra meetings with the Greater London Authority (GLA), Transport for London (TfL) and Design Review Panels. We can also offer post-decision agreements to sign-off obligations and conditions.

We may ask for the total PPA charge to be paid at the start of the process, or in instalments. We will agree on this with you and set out payment details in the PPA contract.

Your PPA service charge includes: 

• a planned, managed and responsive pre-application service that allows for negotiation on a proposal and submitted details
• a structured project approach from pre-application to decision 
• greater flexibility on timescales for decision, without the constraints of the statutory time requirement for conclusion 
• a dedicated officer or constant single point of contact throughout the process

Your PPA service charge does not cover:

• the statutory planning application charge
• costs relating to viability
• legal costs
• environmental impact assessment review
