Neighbourhood Planning is continuing to develop as an area of spatial planning in its own right. This event is designed to respond to the growing interest in neighbourhood plans as a relatively new planning tool to deliver community aspirations for the future of their local area. There is now a variety of experience and practice in different types of area, both within the North West region and further afield.
This event will bring together a range of stakeholders engaged in neighbourhood planning to reflect on processes and practice including how to engage with urban communities, how plans are produced and examined through the assessor and consider some legal challenges to date.
