The Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum ran a public
consultation between 15 March and 25 April 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, no public events could be held during the consultation period, but leaflets announcing the consultation were hand-delivered to residents and businesses in 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.
As part of that consultation process, an issue was identified with the boundary of the neighbourhood plan area. The boundary included a small area that is under the planning authority of the London Legacy Development Corporation.

Following discussions between Council officers, members of the Neighbourhood Forum and officers from LLDC, the
Neighbourhood Forum decided to amend the boundary to
exclude the area within LLDC authority. In order to ensure the legality of the amendment, a second consultation was carried out solely on the matter of the boundary change. This second consultation took place between 5th July and 15th August 2021.
