Our Projects

Planning Aid Wales is a Wales-wide charity working for effective community involvement in planning. We work with planning authorities, local communities and the Welsh Government to help create a more accessible and participative planning system. We are core funded by the Welsh Government.

Our website, telephone Helpline, guidance publications and training events give thousands of people each year the information and advice they need to engage with planning. Our small staff team works with a network of almost one hundred dedicated volunteers, the majority chartered planners, to deliver our services. Last year volunteers contributed over 1,000 hours to increasing community engagement with the planning system.

As an impartial and independent planning stakeholder in Wales, we work to build public understanding, increase community engagement and manage expectations, thereby supporting delivery of the planning system.
