Community Planning Together: Renewing the spirit of localism

Gain clear, actionable guidance to start or restart planning in your patch.

With neighbourhood planning funding largely cut, many parish and town councils are wondering: how do we still shape the future of our places?

Long before neighbourhood plans existed, parish and town plans and village design statements were powerful tools for steering local growth and identity. So, has community planning really died, or is it simply time to reimagine how we plan together?

Join this eye-opening and practical session where you’ll:

  • Uncover the range of tools still available to help shape your community’s future.
  • Explore how parish and town plans or village design statements can regain their place in the spotlight.
  • Gain clear, actionable guidance to start or restart planning in your patch.

Your community still needs a plan, and this event will show you how to make it happen.
