On 24 September 2013 the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham decided without further consultation to designate a revised Neighbourhood Area and refuse to designate the proposed St Quintin and Woodlands Neighbourhood Forum within Hammersmith and Fulham.

The amended boundaries of the Neighbourhood Area within Hammersmith and Fulham notably exclude most of the Imperial West development on the former Woodlands site.

These decisions were not discussed in advance either with the St Quintin and Woodlands Neighbourhood Forum or with the St Helens Residents Association, which is the relevant body that originally made the application in April 2012.

The Forum is seeking clarification on these decisions from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the Department for Communities and Local Government.

The Neighbourhood Area within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea remains unaffected, following its formal designation in July.

The St Quintin and Woodlands Neighbourhood Forum continues to welcome the involvement of anyone in the local community in the development of the Neighbourhood Plan.
