Mayor to oppose planning changes

19th September 2014

Boris Johnson has stated he will oppose planning reforms which would enable the conversion of offices into homes without planning permission, after concerns were raised over how many jobs could be lost as a result of the changes. "I support a number of changes the Government is making to the wider planning system but I'm likely to object to this proposal. We need to protect London's industrial space,” he explained.
