Planning Community Needs
The TCPA has recently commissioned a study as part of the Future Planning project, the outcome of a collaboration between the TCPA, Rayne Foundation and the Ethical Property Foundation, focussing on how to deliver higher levels of community infrastructure through participation in spatial planning. The final outcome is a guide entitled, ‘Planning Community Needs – a guide to effective Section 106 agreements & Statements of Community Involvement,’ which aims to help planning practitioners and developers deliver better quality development that meets the needs of the voluntary and community sector.
