Comm Comm UK worked alongside the Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum to advise and lead on the consultation for the draft Mayfair Neighbourhood Plan.

The Localism Act 2011 has empowered communities to create plans and policies that govern how development will come forward in a neighbourhood. The Mayfair Neighbourhood Plan will be a policy document for the next twenty years, articulating policies that future developments in Mayfair should comply. Following comments from consultation, in-depth analysis and revisions will be formulated before a plan is formally submitted to Westminster City Council.

Following the Referendum on 31 October 2019, the Mayfair community voted for the Neighbourhood Plan to be used by Westminster City Council. The plan will become part of Westminster’s statutory development plan and will be used alongside the Council’s own planning documents and the Mayor’s London Plan in determining planning applications in the Mayfair Neighbourhood Area.

The plan was voted in by an overwhelming 91% in the business referendum, and 86% in the residential vote.
