Greater London Publishing is owned by Managing Editor Lee Mallett who edits the titles and manages the business.

Lee is former editor of precursor Estates Times and Building Design magazines and joint editor/publisher of the London Planning and Development Forum's quarterly magazine, Planning in London.

Reporters cover the five main committee meetings - usually four in Westminster and one in the City - that take place each month and reports from these meetings form the main content in each montly newsletter, delivered in pdf format to the desks of subscribers.

The newsletters also cover GLA planning decisions and developments in policy as well as including articles and opinions on other planning-related topics from eminent practitioners.

Around 250 central London organisations involved with planning and development subscribe to the newsletters, giving them a projected readership of around 1,250 people. All members of the Westminster Property Association, for example, receive a copy as part of their subscription to the WPA.

City Planning and Greater London Publishing was set up by Peter Wood, former PR executive at the City Corporation in the late 1980s, initially covering the then very busy schedule of the City's Planning and Transportation Committee, which was coping with an explosion of demand for office space after Big Bang.

Westminster Planning followed in 1989 and coincided with the establishment of the Westminster Property Owners Association (now the WPA) which took WP as its members' newsletter.

Originally printed, the newsletters went digital in 2003 and are now distributed in pdf format to subscribers, retaining their print layout so they can be viewed digitally, or printed out if preferred.

Subscribers like the magazine for its "Hansard"-style reporting of decisions taken at committee which provide a unique and almost word-for-word insight into how officers and councillors interpret planning policy and respond to development proposals.
