Brent consultation on draft development management policies - please share
By Giselle of the KUWG
The Development Management
Policy Document guides the council on planning applications. It is
crucial for the building (or not) of housing, and for what types of
housing can be built and where. Also what parcels of council owned land
can be sold off.
Brent is doing one of its
classic 'consultations'. As info on this may not have reached many
people, I'd be grateful if people could forward this onto other lists of
local concerned groups.
I found 2 women chatting to
eachother in front of a poster and handing out questionnaires - if you
asked for one - at Sainsburys Willesden Green on Monday. They were there
from 4 - 8pm only, just that day. (If I hadn't been heading for the
Evening Standards I wouldnt even have noticed them, I'd already walked
past them twice) You can also view the draft plan at the Brent Civic
Centre this Saturday between 12 - 3pm. According to their
questionnaires, this appears to be the full extent of their public
outreach.
I managed to get hold of half
a dozen of these questionnaires, which devote almost as much space to
intrusive personal questions (name, address, religion, ethnicity, sexual
orientation etc) as they give space for any responses. The deadline for
returning these is 31st July. I will bring some to the KUWG meeting on
Thursday.
You can see the draft
development management policy document in Brent libraries (if you
already know to ask for it) and here:

How to have your say
During the consultation period you can complete our online comment form.
Alternatively you can provide detailed comments on the document itself.You can also email ldf@brent.gov.uk or write to: Planning Policy and Projects Team, Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, Middlesex, HA9 0FJ.The deadline for receiving your comments is 5pm on 31 July 2014.
I went to a local Connections
meeting a couple of weeks ago and do not recall this consultation being
mentioned even there, although my recall is not 100% reliable.
The deadline is very soon, and the more people that put in some sort of reply now, the more likely it is that there will be an extension so as to make it a more-representative-of-the-community community consultation

There are some general terms that are necessary to be followed which is even more exceptional, Till the time if we try and learn the basics things that finally help us with many things like agile business surely that lets us do better especially with complete turns and a way of going to another level which works for us.
