Consultation process
The Spitalfields Neighbourhood Forum ran a
public consultation between 20 July and 14 September 2020. This
extended beyond the required six-week consultation period. Due to
the coronavirus pandemic, no public events could be held during the
consultation period, but leaflets announcing the consultation were
hand-delivered to every address within the neighbourhood area, an
online survey was conducted via the forum’s email lists, and
the statutory consultees were contacted. A copy of the
neighbourhood plan was made available on the forum’s website,
and a copy was sent to the Council along with an announcement that
the consultation would be taking place. Details of the consultation
activities (including activities undertaken at earlier stages of
the neighbourhood plan development process) can be found in
Appendices 2-4.
