Mill Hill Neighbourhood Area Forum Designation Applications consultation

We have taken into consideration the current COVID-19 outbreak, and feel it is appropriate for this consultation to be extended, to allow those impacted by the outbreak time to comment. Please rest assured that the delivery of this consultation adheres to all social distancing rules and government guidelines.

Background

The council advises and assists local communities in the preparation of their Neighbourhood Development Plans. A Neighbourhood Development Plan is a statutory planning document setting out general planning policies for the development and use of land in a neighbourhood. The council is also responsible for approving the designated areas for the plans and designating Neighbourhood Area Forums to develop the plans.

We have received an application for a new Mill Hill Neighbourhood Area and Forum designation. This has been submitted in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act (1990) and the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations.

What are we consulting on

As part of this application process the council is now consulting with residents and other interested stakeholders. The following documents have been submitted by the Mill Hill Neighbourhood Forum:

Mill Hill Neighbourhood Forum Application

Mill Hill Neighbourhood Area Application

Mill Hill Neighbourhood Forum Constitution

During the consultation period the documents will also be available at:

• Planning Reception, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, NW9 4EW
