Neighbourhood planning
Adopted neighbourhood plans
Adopted plans become part of the statutory ‘development plan’, These will be used alongside the Council’s own adopted planning documents when making decisions on planning applications in a neighbourhood area.
Influence the future of your neighbourhood
Your community can influence the future of your neighbourhood by preparing a neighbourhood plan. This should set out the vision for your local area and give general planning policies to guide developments.
Please see below for guidance to help your community decide whether to get involved in neighbourhood planning. It will also help you to prepare a plan if you do.

Current consultations
We are inviting representations on the Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan 2025 to 2040 which is intended to replace the Neighbourhood Plan the Council adopted in 2018.
We are also consulting on a redesignation application from Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum. This is to renew the Forum for a further 5 years.
See the revised Plan and redesignation application on our Hampstead forum page.
