AGMs – Sunday 1st October 2023

The Neighbourhood Forum and Association held their AGMs on Sunday 1st October. They were well attended by the local community. With thanks for the venue by kind permission of St. Margaret’s School, 18 Kidderpore Gardens, NW3 7SR

At the Neighbourhood Forum EGM of 18 March 2020, it was unanimously agreed to formally submit the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Plan (Submission version), the Basic Conditions Statement and the Consultation Statement to Camden Council.

Camden Council will now undertake Regulation 16 publicity to check the Plan meets the Basic Conditions.  Following this, an Examiner will be appointed, with the agreement of the Forum.  Camden will then consider the Examiner’s report and, if the Plan is capable of being modified to meet the Basic Conditions, Camden must make these modifications, or ask the Forum to do so.  Once the modifications have been made, Camden must publicise the Neighbourhood Plan and arrange for the Referendum.
