Woodford Neighbourhood Forum began preparing a neighbourhood plan for its area in 2013. A summary of the key steps that have been taken and the current position is provided below.
Redesignation, 2025
Designation of a neighbourhood forum lasts for 5 years. Woodford Neighbourhood Forum has submitted an application for redesignation as the ‘relevant body’ for the Woodford Neighbourhood Area.
If a designation is made, no other organisation or body may be designated for that neighbourhood area until that designation expires or is withdrawn.
The council is inviting public representations on this application which must be received during the consultation period from 6 November to 21 December 2025.
Visit our consultation pages for more information on how to make a representation. The application and other related documents are available via the link further down this page.
