Councils are currently discussing how to enhance resident involvement in planning decisions and budget setting.

In September 2026, Camden's Holborn District Management Committee discussed resident engagement for budget setting, specifically concerning the Housing Revenue Account's medium-term financial strategy. This aimed to involve residents in the financial planning for housing services, a key aspect of local government decision-making.

Haringey Council was set to update its planning protocol in November 2025, aiming to ensure greater transparency and enhanced resident involvement in planning application determinations. The proposed changes were scheduled for discussion by the Standards Committee, following initial consideration by the Constitution Working Group.
