Free support, advice, guidance and ideas to help local groups create a neighbourhood plan.
Please note that due to overwhelming interest the Building Communities programme is now closed to new applications for free tailored neighbourhood planning support.
However if you’d like to be kept informed of any future support which may be available, please complete our expression of interest form.
Our free expert support helps you make the most of changes to the neighbourhood planning regulations.
These new powers give you greater control over your area, such as:
- deciding how your neighbourhood should develop
- protecting existing local facilities and planning new ones
- creating or safeguarding parks and green spaces
By getting together as a local group, you can create a neighbourhood plan to improve the area in which you live or work and have a real say in its future development.
Although our tailored planning support is currently closed, you can still use our training workshops and study tours, online resources and a creative planning camp to help you to get involved in neighbourhood planning.
Building Community is led by Locality in partnership with The Glass-House Community Led Design, The Eden Project, communityplanning.net and a wider group of experts and practitioners.
It is funded through the Department for Communities and Local Government Supporting Communities and Neighbourhoods in Planning scheme.
