Dear Petitioner

Thank you for the petition submitted on the change.org website about Turing House School.

This is a referable application to the Mayor. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames referred the application with all the correct documentation on the 11 January 2019. The Mayor therefore has 6 weeks to provide his initial comments on the application, assessing it against the relevant London Plan policies. This is known as a stage 1 application and the deadline for the stage 1 report and letter is 21 February. The report will be available online on the following link by searching ‘4739’ under the GLA case number search box: www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/
planning/planning-applications-and-decisions/planning-application-search.

Once the council has resolved to either grant or refuse the application at committee, they will be required to refer it back to the Mayor for his stage 2 decision. He will have 14 days to determine the case. More details on this process can be found on our website: www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/planning-applications-and-decisions/what-powers-does-mayor-have-planning.

It is not currently possible for the Mayor to comment on the application as it may legally prejudice the future decision he will make on the application. However, please be assured that all comments will be passed to the case officer for this application and they will be taken into consideration as a part of the decision-making process.

Yours sincerely
