In compliance with the Town and Country Planning (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020, hard copies of documents related to the application are not accessible for public viewing. Additionally, the authority is advising against submissions via letter, further limiting the options for community engagement. Stakeholders wishing to submit their comments, whether in objection or support, are encouraged to use the provided email address for the Greater London Authority.
