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 to designate 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, 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 then consider the application before designation.
