Redesignation of Byfleet Residents' Neighbourhood Forum Approved
Byfleet Residents' Neighbourhood Forum (BRNF) was designated in February 2014 to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the Byfleet Neighbourhood Area. As a Neighbourhood Forum has a lifespan of five years, the Forum designation had expired in February 2019. At a Council meeting on 2 December 2021, the Council approved the redesignation of the Forum for a further five years from 2 December 2021.
