Since 2011 legislation has enabled local people to help shape development in their communities. This process is called Neighbourhood Planning.
The Belgravia Plan is still being prepared by the Belgravia Neighbourhood Forum. It is currently in draft and includes a set of policies and guidelines specially developed for the Belgravia area to guide planning decisions for the period to 2040.
Its objectives are to "conserve and enhance Belgravia’s unique character for future generations while allowing sustainable growth which promotes its historic architecture and heritage and to ensure it remains an attractive, vibrant and agreeable ‘village’ in the heart of London for those who live, work or visit there".
You can see the draft plan for Belgravia here.
The plan still needs to pass through a major consultation and examination stage thereafter local electors will be given the chance to vote on it in a referendum.
Any comments on the Belgravia Plan are welcome and should be emailed to the Chairman. Please join the Forum here; Members of the Forum will receive email updates on the Plan approvals stages.
