Statutory planning is delivered by Be First Regeneration Ltd, 5th Floor, MAKE IT Barking, 15 Linton Road, Barking, IG11 8HE. The lbbd.gov.uk page states 'Please direct all enquiries to [Be First] in the first instance' and 'Please contact [Be First] to arrange an appointment', both as mailto links; the anchor text itself did not render in fetch but is consistently indexed elsewhere as planning@befirst.london. This is an @befirst.london address, OFF the lbbd.gov.uk domain, hence email is null here. Two planning numbers that circulate on third-party directories were field-tested by us and are confirmed INVALID; they appear on no lbbd.gov.uk page and are deliberately not published here.
