AI in London planning faces Assembly scrutiny
The Assembly is examining how artificial intelligence is being used in London planning. Its investigation asks about practice and safeguards; it is not a finding that a council has broken the rules.
What is being examined
The investigation page, dated 1 October, considers AI use by the GLA and boroughs, including the processing of consultation responses.
It invites evidence by 26 November 2026 and describes work to understand planners’ experience.

Ask a concrete question
For a resident, useful questions concern what a tool does, what information it receives and where human judgement remains.
Summarising comments is not the same as deciding an application; the distinction belongs in any discussion of a particular system.
Follow evidence, not assumptions
An inquiry creates a route for scrutiny, not proof of either reliability or misconduct.
Read the investigation’s remit and submission instructions before contributing. This report does not evaluate an unidentified council system or claim access to private planning data.
