You are here Design: Ethical Property Foundation launches 7 point plan for community involvement in planning obligations.
The Ethical Property Foundation, a charity committed to empowering charities and community groups to make the most of property, and to improving the social and environmental performance of the commercial property sector, is calling for communities to become equal partners in the planning obligations' process with the recent publication of its new community guide to planning obligations.
The Foundation's ‘No Pain Guide to Gain: A Community Guide to Planning Obligations' sets out a seven point manifesto for community involvement. Key of these is the inclusion of local people in pre-applications discussions between the council and developers to ensure that community needs are taken into consideration ‘up front'.
The Foundation's new guide is part of the Future Planning project - a collaboration between the Ethical Property Foundation, the Rayne Foundation, and the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA).
