One of the challenges for Neighbourhood Planning groups is that while you may have your policies turned into 'planning speak' there may be a gap between what the final policy says and what you had originally intended with the community's voice being lost in translation. 

DinT can help you to realise your vision for a sustainable and positive future in your community:​ 

  • Working with your group and others in your community to evaluate the Neighbourhood Plan process, what objectives it met or didn't meet

  • Identifying which objectives are still important but didn't get included in the plan

  • Developing an action plan for community-wide action beyond 'land-use' policies

  • Partnering with other groups who have similar goals for support and inspiration 

  • Providing support on community-led campaigns and communications to achieve your community goals

  • Making sure your plan achieves what it set out to do: evidencing its results and making developers and your planning authority accountable.

Neighbourhood Planning

The UK Homes and Communities Agency has suggested that spatial planning ‘is the main way we shape places’.  Planning policy and process influences the rules we use to design our communities.

 

However, sometimes local organisations may need additional skills and support to communicate and measure the changes they seek in their communities and re-balance developer's interests over the wishes and creativity of local people.
