West Finchley Neighbourhood Development Plan Regulation 16 Consultation

Overview

The West Finchley Neighbourhood Forum (as the qualifying body) has prepared a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for their area with the help of the local community. The NDP sets out a vision for the future of the local area and planning policies which will be used to determine planning applications locally.

In accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), the council is now consulting with the wider community on the West Finchley Neighbourhood Development Plan and its associated documents.

• By post to: Planning Policy Team, 7^th Floor, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, London, NW9 4EW

Any representations must be submitted before 5.00pm 26 February 2020.

Representations should address whether or not the Plan meets basic conditions and other matters that the examiner is required to consider under Paragraph 8 of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and can also address whether the referendum area should be extended beyond the neighbourhood area or for a request to make a case for an oral hearing.

Following this consultation, the comments received will be passed on to an independent examiner, to be appointed by the Council, who will consider the representations and recommend whether the Neighbourhood Plan should be put to a community referendum.
