How can a Community Led Plan be useful?

A Community Led Plan can result in:

  • An Action Plan for the community
  • A chance to influence the policies, decisions and actions of other bodies on issues such as housing, planning, transport or education

Key ways in which Community Led Plans can be used:

  • To take action to improve quality of life in the area through practical projects such as running a community transport scheme or setting up a youth club.
  • To manage change and address local needs through the planning process such as supporting the protection of community facilities or building affordable housing.
  • To bid for funding for local initiatives and to encourage effective partnership work.
  • To provide additional detail to support the Local Plan through adoption as Additional Planning Guidance.
  • To help influence and inform plans, policies and services as a range of organisations and service providers.
  • To enhance a Parish Council’s community leadership role.
