Written question asked by Matthew Offord (Conservative) on Friday, 20 March 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 24 March 2015. It was answered by Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 24 March 2015 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Neighbourhood Plans

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many neighbourhood forums have been established under the Localism Act 2011.

Answer

The Department does not hold official statistics on the number of neighbourhood forums established under the Localism Act. However from our informal monitoring we are aware that of the 1,400 communities who have started the process of neighbourhood planning, around 190 are non-parished areas, and will therefore be led by neighbourhood forums.
