Westminster Council has been unable to list planning applications in the usual way in December due to its computer system being shut down after a security breach on 24 November.
Westminster Council is one of three London local authorities affected by the cyber attack.
However, a temporary list has now been provided by the council. As a result The Fitzrovia News has extracted summaries of the 11 applications relating to Fitzrovia West validated during December 2025 and listed them below. (NB: we have done our best but we cannot guarantee this is an accurate list.)
As there is no link to the planning portal provided, Westminster Council says if you want to obtain more information about the decisions listed on the temporary register, including to view the application documents, please contact the planning service via planningreception@westminster.gov.uk for full details.
“All decisions and application documents referred to on the temporary register will be added to our normal planning register following restoration of our normal systems,” says Westminster Council.
Residents in the Westminster part of Fitzrovia can also seek advice on planning applications by contacting the Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association (email: fna@fitzrovia.org.uk).
