Neighbourhood forum designations expire five years after they are initially granted. The designation of the Limehouse Community Forum as the neighbourhood forum for the Limehouse Neighbourhood Planning Area therefore expired on 1 December 2020.

Consultation process

A public consultation is taking place between 3 December 2020 and 27 January 2021. This is beyond the statutorily required six weeks, to account for the holiday period. There is a statutory timeframe which means a decision on the designation must be made within 13 weeks of the consultation beginning. Because of this, and the internal Tower Hamlets reporting timeframes, it is not possible to wait until the consultation has finished to bring this issue to DLT. At the DLT stage, this report therefore recommends that the decision be moved to the next stage of reporting, and that the final decision will be conditional on an assessment of the consultation responses. The CLT report will provide more detail on consultation responses, and the MAB and CAB reports will be accompanied by a consultation statement as an appendix.

Consultees

All people who have asked to be added to the planning policy database have been sent an email regarding the consultation; all local councillors have also been contacted. A public notice has been placed in the East End Advertiser to reach further stakeholders.

Has an Equality Analysis been carried out and if so the result of this Assessment?: Screening Tool carried out 10/12, no further assessment needed

What supporting documents or other information will be available?: Appendix 1: Limehouse Community Forum Application Form Appendix 2: Limehouse Neighbourhood Area Map Appendix 3: Limehouse Community Forum Constitution Appendix 4: Equalities Impact Assessment Screening Appendix 5: Consultation Statement (to be appended from MAB onwards)
