The number of permissions added to the LDD by month as an indicator of activity in the planning system. This is the number of planning permissions added to the London Development Database (LDD) by the London Boroughs on a monthly basis. The LDD holds permissions involving a loss or gain of residential units along with large non-residential schemes that propose either 1,000m2 of floorspace in any one use class or 7 bedrooms or more for hotels and care homes. This takes no account of the size of the permissions. Not all of these permissions represent a new scheme as they may be a revision to, or renewal of, a previously approved project. Borough data is not always submitted on time so the totals shown are subject to change as the data are checked and missing permissions are added. The CSV file is automatically updated on the 1st day of every month. Open an interactive map of all LDD permissions data.

The London Development Database (LDD) has been replaced by the Planning London Datahub (PLD) and the data on this page is no longer being updated. The LDD recorded significant planning permissions in London. The data was entered by London's planning authorities, and checked by the GLA to ensure consistency across London. The LDD recorded any planning consent that permits one or more of the following: any new build residential units any loss or gain of residential units through change of use or conversion of existing dwellings creation of seven or more new bedrooms for use as either a hotel, a hostel, student housing or for residential care through new build or change of use 1,000m2 or more of floor space changing from one use class to another or created through new build or extension for any other use the loss or gain or change of use of open space. The spreadsheet LDD - Planning permissions includes details of all permissions either currently recorded as live (not started or under construction), completed since 01/04/2006 or permitted since 01/04/2006 and subsequently superseded or lapsed. LDD - Non-residential floorspace provides additional details of the non-residential floor space for those permissions with a non-residential component and LDD - non-residential bedrooms provides additional details of the non-C3 bedrooms over the same time period.
