Celebrating Planning Aid in the North West

As part of the 50 Years of Planning Aid Services celebrations, we are delighted to launch this document that showcases some of the work we have done in the North West region over the years.

Our work in the North West is delivered by over 50 dedicated volunteers who are supported by a small team of staff based at RTPI central.  All Planning Aid England (PAE) volunteers are members of the RTPI and have a range of skills, interests and expertise.

Community Engagement in Practice

This document provides some good practice guidance on how public and private organisations have successfully consulted with the public during 2020/2021 for projects of both strategic and local scope.  It includes perspectives from both the local planners themselves and third parties most notably the work of Planning Aid here in the North West.  It ends with an article from Homes England on their Toolkit for engagement across a diverse range of development projects.
