Consultation process
A public consultation is taking place between 17 November 2022
and 12 January 2023. 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 and CLT stages, 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 CAB report 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 completed - no further action required.
What supporting documents or other information will be available?: Appendix 1: Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum Application Form Appendix 2: Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Area Map Appendix 3: Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum Constitution Appendix 4: Basic Conditions Statement Appendix 5: Equalities Impact Assessment Screening Appendix 6: Consultation Statement (to be appended for CAB)
