To undertake neighbourhood planning in Westminster, communities must first apply to the council to formally designate the area that reflects the geographic extent of the neighbourhood.
To designate a neighbourhood area, you need to send in the following:
- a map showing the area you want designated a neighbourhood area
- a statement explaining why this area is considered appropriate for designation
- a statement that the organisation or body is a parish council or capable of being designated as a neighbourhood forum
Send applications to Policy and Strategy, Westminster City Council, 15th Floor, Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP.
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 6 weeks to comment. After this consultation period, we’ll then consider the application before designation.
For more information on the process for making this application, please contact [email protected]
