The Barbican and Golden Lane Neighbourhood Forum was designated on 18 July 2023.
The forum is supported by GLERA and the Barbican Association as it strengthens local influence by:
- Creating a neighbourhood plan (in general conformity with the City’s Local Plan)
- Commenting on planning applications
- Influencing Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) spending
A portion (25%) of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in our area would be subject to Forum influence. Without a neighbourhood plan in place that figure is 15%. The City holds a balance of £43m of unspent CIL money. In 2021/22 CIL funds received amounted to £9.8m. In that year only £4.6 was spent and allocated and only £0.6m was spent on “neighbourhood” projects in all areas.
