COMMUNITY LED PLANNING

Community Led Planning is a step-by-step structured process taken on by local community activists, to create a vision for a community and an action plan to achieve it.  

The process involves using a mix of evidence collection, different types of consultation and debate at the very local neighbourhood level.  It is designed to be a process in which each and every citizen can participate and results in very high levels of participation. The resulting vision covers the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the community and all those who live and work there.
