Statutory basis

The Local Government Act 1985 required the London borough councils to set up a "joint planning committee for Greater London".

The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Section 3 (2) detailed the functions of the joint planning committee as:

  • advise the local planning authorities (the London borough councils and the City of London Corporation);
  • inform the Secretary of State of their views; and
  • inform the local planning authorities for areas near Greater London and other relevant bodies.

The London Planning Advisory Committee was serviced by Havering London Borough Council.[3]

The joint planning committee for Greater London was abolished by Section 349 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.
