HNNA worked with The Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum, a group of local residents and business leaders, to draw up the Mayfair Neighbourhood Plan. The Plan provides an extraordinary opportunity to help shape the future development of Mayfair; it will influence planning decisions and through that, how the buildings, streetscapes and public spaces will look and work. The impact of Crossrail opening, new retail formats will likely develop in response to the growth of online shopping, business space requirements will be change and the homes will evolve and respond to advances in technology and increased lifespan, whilst the decline of fossil fuel driven vehicles will continue until they disappear. The Plan is for everyone who lives and works in Mayfair and includes the introduction of a local high street along the path of the Tyburn River and a narrowing of the lanes to Park Lane to allow for a widening of the public realm.
“The plan was voted in by an overwhelming 91% in the business referendum, and 86% in the residential vote”
Following the Referendum on 31 October 2019, we are delighted to announce that the Mayfair community have voted for the Neighbourhood Plan produced by HNNA to be used by Westminster City Council.
The plan will become part of Westminster’s statutory development plan and will be used alongside the Council’s own planning documents and the Mayor’s London Plan in determining planning applications in the Mayfair Neighbourhood Area.
