Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum’s application has passed the pre-consultation phase through Brent Council and the OPDC and has gone live for public consultation! Everyone is welcome to send their comments to [email protected] by 5pm on 25 August 2015 when the consultation will close and a decision will be made.
Below is more information about the application and the consultation process. Please promote within your groups and encourage people to engage to put Harlesden on the map!
Brent Council has received a joint application to designate the Harlesden Neighbourhood Area and the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum. The joint application has been prepared by the Harlesden Neighbourhood Planning Forum to guide development in the Harlesden Neighbourhood Area. Neighbourhood Planning is a community-led process that enables people to help shape development in their local area. Once adopted a Neighbourhood Plan becomes part of the planning framework for that area.
The proposed neighbourhood area includes land within both Brent and the Old Oak and Park Royal Mayoral Development Area. The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) are the local planning authority in the Mayoral Development Area.
Brent Council and the OPDC have assessed the joint application and are satisfied that it complies with the statutory requirements as set out in the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations. We are therefore inviting representations on the joint application for six weeks from 13 July to 25 August 2015. You are invited to comment either by emailing [email protected] or in writing to: Policy & Projects Team, Brent Civic Centre, Engineer’s Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ.
The documents and further information on neighbourhood planning are available online at www.brent.gov.uk/hnp. During the six week period the joint application will be available for inspection at Wembley Library in Brent Civic Centre and Harlesden Library. Details of opening times are available at: www.brent.gov.uk/services-for-residents/libraries/libraries-in-brent/
The deadline for receiving your comments is 5pm on 25 August 2015.
If the designation of the Harlesden Neighbourhood Area and the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum is made, no other organisation or body may be designated for that neighbourhood area until that designation expires or is withdrawn.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Lewin
