Westminster reports slump in big planning applications

摘要

Westminster city council has reported a marked slowdown in big-ticket planning applications received this year, with major applications subject to planning performance agreements (PPA) down by 42%. In an update to members of the city council's planning and city development committee last week, John Walker, operational director of development planning, said a combination of factors appeared to be to blame, including developer uncertainty surrounding the UK's departure from the EU and the slowdown of central London's residential market.
