This interactive and practical training course is designed to equip Community and Town Councils with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to become powerful voices in the planning process.
Whether you want to influence where new homes go, protect local character, or help shape a better future for your area, this session will show you how to engage effectively—and make it count.
💡 What You’ll Learn
Throughout the session, we’ll explore how and where Community and Town Councils can influence planning, including:
✅ The principles of good community engagement – how to listen, represent, and influence decisions
✅ How to engage in Local Development Plan (LDP) consultations – and what difference it can make
✅ How to respond to planning applications – effectively and within your powers
✅ The role of Placemaking Plans – and where your community fits in
✅ The value of Place Plans – not just as documents, but as tools for real change
🧭 Real-World Case Studies
We’ll finish by exploring inspiring case studies of Place Plans that have already been adopted—showcasing the benefits they’ve delivered for local communities, from influencing development decisions to securing investment and protecting local identity.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the steps involved in preparing a Place Plan in your own area—and how your council can lead the way.
