Town Planning Advice Centre

The Town Plannning Advice Centre offers assistance with all types of planning query. It is located at Phoenix House, 10 Wandsworth Road, London SW8 2LL and is open to the public between 9.30am and 4.30pm.

Please note: The Town Planning Advice Centre will open at 10.00am on the first Monday of each month to allow for staff training.

You do not need an appointment to visit the centre but, at busy times, you may have to wait to see the Planning Adviser on duty. The most common queries have been listed and addressed on the frequently asked questions page.

However, if you cannot find the answer to your question there, we advise that you contact the centre before coming to see us - many questions can be answered easily in this way.
