1.0.1 This statement sets out how the London Borough of Islington (LBI) has sought participation
from communities and stakeholders during preparation of the Development Management
Policies Development Plan Document (DPD). It sets out how LBI has notified each of the
‘specific consultation bodies’ and ‘general consultation bodies’ as to the subject of the
Development Management Policies DPD and invited representations on what the document
should contain. It also details how residents and businesses have been consulted.
1.0.2 LBI has complied with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Local
Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2008. Under regulation 30(d) LBI is
required to prepare this statement and set out:
which bodies and persons were invited to make representations under Regulation
25;
how these bodies and persons were invited to make representations under Regulation
25;
a summary of the main issues raised by the representations, and
how representations have been taken into account.
1.0.3 Participation in the development of the document has had three main components:
formal consultation on the Issues and Options document (26th October – 7th December
2009)
formal consultation on a Direction of Travel draft version of the document (8th
November 2010 – 31st January 2011)
informal consultation was also undertaken at various stages during policy development
1.0.4 The Issues and Options stage of consultation satisfied Regulation 25. The Direction of
Travel consultation was an additional (non-statutory) stage.
1.0.5 The 'specific consultation' bodies that LBI consulted (as defined in the Regulations) are
listed in Appendix 1. The 'general consultation' bodies that LBI consulted are listed in
Appendix 2.
1.0.6 In addition, LBI consulted local residents and businesses, including hard-to-reach groups,
by post and/or email. The mail-out list is derived from identification of key stakeholders,
hard-to-reach groups, those identified as likely to have an interest in planning policy
development and those who have responded to previous policy consultation exercises,
such as in relation to the Core Strategy. As well as direct mail-outs, consultation was also
undertaken using a number of methods detailed in the following sections.
