Once formally adopted, the Plan will form part of Westminster's Development Plan, alongside the London Plan (2021) and Westminster’s City Plan 2019-2040. It will be a material consideration in the assessment of planning applications within the area it covers (please refer to the enclosed map of the designated Neighbourhood Area).

Neighbourhood Design Codes have also been provided as an appendix to the plan. However, these will not have the same status as forming part of Westminster's Development Plan. 

Consultation

We are inviting representations on the Plan from 2 June 2023 until 24 July 2023 (extended from an original closure of 14 July 2023). 

Responses are to be provided in writing via email to neighbourhoodplanning@westminster.gov.uk 

The Statement of Representations Procedure provides further detail on how to make representations.

Next steps

The plan and representations will be submitted to an Independent Examine, and they will determine whether the plan meets a number of statutory tests, known as ‘Basic Conditions’.

Following this, the plan will be put to a referendum in the local area. If the plan receives majority support (more than 50%), it will be considered 'made' (formally adopted).   

Privacy notice

Due to the process of having an Independent Examination before the referendum and final adoption, representations cannot be treated as confidential. They will be published on our website alongside your name. If you are responding as an individual rather than a company or organisation, we will not publish your contact details (email and postal address) online. However, the original representations will be shared in full with the independent examiner.
