Current and recent consultations
When producing planning policy documents, the council must comply with its Statement of Community Involvement. We inform, involve and consult our residents and stakeholders when drawing up planning policy documents. This includes development plan documents and other documents such as draft supplementary planning documents, draft neighbourhood plans or neighbourhood forum designations.
This page contains information on all open and recent consultations.
Partial City Plan Review
Our City Plan provides our vision and framework for how long-term housing, commercial and infrastructure growth will be delivered in Westminster. The policies within the plan cover a range of topics, including housing, sustainability, heritage, transport, the visitor economy and employment.
We undertook a six-week consultation at the end of 2022, known as a ‘Regulation 18 consultation’. This is a formal first step to provide opportunities for everyone to have an early input on the direction of policy development. We are now reviewing all of the responses received as part of this consultation.

Westminster's Streets and Spaces - Public Realm SPD
We are developing an updated Public Realm Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for Westminster. This is to replace the 2011 ‘Westminster Way’ SPD and other Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPGs) documents which were revoked following adoption of the City Plan in 2021.
The new SPD provides an opportunity to update the existing framework and reflect changes in our approach to public realm, and political priorities. It has a broader scope than the previous guidance, containing key principles and guidance intended to support the implementation of City Plan policies across the City up to 2040
We are currently undertaking a six-week consultation, running from Monday 7 October to Monday 18 November 2024.
