Read moreA series of workshops designed to help us explore ways we can have more of a voice in the planning process
Are you finding the planning process difficult to navigate? Is it something your Big Local partnership are exploring now or plan in the future?
This workshop will explore and shed light on Council planners decision making process, understanding why proposals get rejected as well as a chance to hear from other Big Local areas who have gone through this process with successes and challenges.
In this online session you will hear from and can ask questions to planners about their decision-making process. It’s an opportunity to understand better how the system works and for Big Local groups to discuss your experiences of planning, talk about key lessons and to get advice on how you might have addressed applications successfully.
