What is the Planning Parish Forum?

The Planning Parish Forum was set up to provide a forum for the Parish Councils, enabling them to raise their planning concerns, whilst providing an opportunity for training on various SPDs and planning matters.

The Forum has provided training in the following areas:

Delegation System
Biodiversity
Trees & Landscape
Changes in the Planning Appeal Process
Conservation SPD
Open Space SPD
Public Art SPD
Enforcement

There is also a Parish Forum called 'Legal and Planning Parish Forum'

The Legal and Planning Parish Forum has set up workshops in September and October 2009 from the responsibilities of the Council's Standards Committee to inform/train parish councils about the Code of Conduct. The aim with these two sessions is to attract more Parishes by giving them advice/training on other issues which concern them such as planning and freedom of information requests. All Parish Councils have been issued with a hard copy of the latest version of the Parish Council Toolkit (issued by NALC and AcSeS) and will be referring to this in the training. The invitations to these two events are being managed by CPALC on our behalf.
