6. Main Modifications Consultation
The City Plan public hearings were carried out the weeks beginning 28th September and 12th October 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic these hearings took place online using Microsoft Teams. Recordings are available to view under the tab “Hearings” or on the Councils YouTube channel.
Following the City Plan Examination hearings the next stage of the process is to consult on the main modifications as recommended by the Inspectors Kevin Ward and Luke Fleming. The Inspectors consider the modifications set out in the schedule below are required to make the Plan sound before it is adopted.
Please note that this is not a consultation on the whole Plan or any other aspect of the City Plan submission – but only on the modifications. There is no need to raise issues already addressed earlier in the process.
The schedule is accompanied by a Sustainability Assessment on the modifications, the schedule of changes to the policies map and draft policies map itself.
Consultation is open for seven weeks from Monday 30th November to 18th January 2021. Please send responses via email to planningpolicy@westminster.gov.uk Please make it clear by reference to the Main Modification number assigned to each modification which you are commenting on.
The City Plan 2019 – 2040 and its proposed modifications continues to have limited weight until the public examination concludes upon receipt of the Inspectors’ report.
Please email us any concerns or questions using the email address above.
