Planning in Plain EnglishZoom Local (parish and town) councils play an important role in commenting on the planning applications that affect their area. The Government wants to see planning decisions taken at the lowest level possible and so once the local planning authority has received a planning application it will publicise the proposal and notify the Local Council so that they have a chance to express their views. How can Local Council make sure that their comments on planning applications are as effective as possible and taken into account by the local planning authority? This course will give you lots of advice, hints and tips to assist you as a councillor with this important task. |

This course will be highly beneficial to new Councillors, as well as experienced Councillors and Chairs looking to deepen thier working knowledge and understanding. |
