Designation of a neighbourhood area
A neighbourhood area is the geographical area that the policies in the neighbourhood plan will apply to. Designating a neighbourhood area is an early step in producing a neighbourhood plan, and formerly indicates the area that the neighbourhood plan will cover.
A neighbourhood area designated covering the urban area of Radlett and its immediate surroundings was approved by Hertsmere in 2013.
A revised boundary was designated in 2016, following a six week consultation period (as required by Town and Country Planning, England,. The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 and The Neighbourhood Planning (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2015).
