The planning process is a public one and so past and present planning applications are available for viewing. The relevant web pages for the London Boroughs are in the table below. The further back in time the sketchier the online records are, so full details of old applications still have to be viewed in person by appointment at council offices. In general, online records are complete after about the year 2000 so they will include all documents including the application form, the drawings, any reports and comments etc.
