Place Plans & The Value of Community Engagement in Planning
Network event @ St. David’s Hall, Cardiff at 5pm on Monday 18th June 2018.
Planning works best when it works with local communities. Good engagement in planning make better places and contribute to community well-being.

This event will:
- Demonstrate new tools, resources and guidance on Place Plans.
- Explain recent research on the value the planning system plays in Wales.
- Explore the value that good community engagement can bring to the planning system and people of Wales.
Who is this event for?

- Community and Town Councils and community groups thinking about preparing a Place Plan but don’t know whether they should or where to start.
- Developers / agents interested in the savings that can be achieved through meaningful community engagement that goes beyond ‘box-ticking’.
The event will be followed by the Planning Aid Wales AGM.
