To undertake neighbourhood planning in a designated neighbourhood areas, a Neighbourhood Forum needs to be established in the area.
To designate a Neighbourhood Forum, you need to complete the following form:
Send applications to Policy and Strategy, Westminster City Council, 17th Floor, Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP.
Or via email to [email protected].
What happens next
Once received, we'll publish the application online and in other appropriate ways to give people who live, work and carry out business in the application area at least six weeks to comment. After this consultation period, we will consider the application before designation.
Factors affecting decision:
- how widely the membership is drawn (including different places and different sections of the community)
- how the purpose of the group generally reflects the character of the area
- only one neighbourhood forum can be designated for each area, and a designation lasts for five years
Once a Neighbourhood Forum is designated no other organisation or body may be designated for that neighbourhood area until that designation expires or is withdrawn.
