The LGA is currently putting together a publication in conjunction with the British Property Federation to showcase effective partnership approaches to positive planning.
We are looking for case studies of up to 1 page (with pictures if relevant) which illustrate how developers and councils working together in partnership can bring forward high quality development in a timely fashion, which supports economic growth and builds support and acceptance from communities. We are particularly looking for evidence of the impact i.e. what difference does the partnership approach make?
This may include some of the following elements:
o Maximising engagement at plan-making stage to allow more effective targeting of effort in applications
o Effective and joined up pre-application advice services
o Effective consultation with communities
o Councillors leadership role
o Joining up developer negotiations
o Implementing permissions swiftly
o Site assembly and de-risking sites
If you would like to showcase work you have done in your area please do send any information through to me jo.allchurch@local.gov.ukby Friday 29 November 2013. This is the deadline for case studies for the publication but we will still be happy to receive case studies after this date that we can include on our case studies database on the LGA's website. I will of course make sure I post the final publication on this forum!
