Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum and Area consultations
The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (LBHF) and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) have received a joint application to designate the Old Oak Neighbourhood Planning Forum and the Old Oak Neighbourhood Area. If successfully designated, a Forum can develop a Neighbourhood Plan for their area.
Neighbourhood Plans
Neighbourhood Plans are community-led documents to shape and guide development in the area. Once adopted a Neighbourhood Plan becomes part of the planning framework alongside the Local Plan. This means that the policies in the plan will be used to help decide whether planning applications in the area are acceptable or not.
Both authorities have assessed the joint application and are satisfied it meets the statutory requirements in the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Second Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum application and consultation
Following the refusal of OPDC Board to designate the Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum in September 2017, OPDC received a second application in October 2017 to designate the Interim Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum as the neighbourhood forum for the Old Oak Neighbourhood Area.
Public consultation on the application is taking place between 22 November 2017 and 18 January 2018. Find out more about the consultation and how to respond.
Original Public consultation: 3 May 2017 to 15 June 2017
OPDC and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham jointly undertook a public consultation on the appropriateness of the proposed Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum and Old Oak Neighbourhood Area consultations from 3 May 2017 to 15 June 2017.
Responses to the consultation can be viewed online.
Next steps following 3 May to 15 June 2017 Consultation
OPDC and Hammersmith and Fulham Council considering all the consultation responses and the submission documents and will decide whether to designate the area as proposed or with amendments, giving consideration to the consultation responses and to the appropriateness of the neighbourhood area.
The authorities will also decide whether to designate the neighbourhood forum, giving consideration to consultation responses and factors such as how widely the membership is drawn (including different places and different sections of the community) and how the purpose of the group generally reflects the character of the area. OPDC’s decisions on the area and forum applications are likely to be considered by OPDC Planning Committee and Board in early September 2017.
