Planning Aid for Scotland (PAS) launched its Planning Mentoring Scheme in April 2010 to provide detailed and on-going support to community groups on planning matters. A wide range of groups all across Scotland received support with their projects, including establishing allotments, community halls, renewable energy schemes, sports and play park facilities and other community assets.
Following the successful completion of the pilot scheme, and based on planning issues encountered by the community groups, PAS has produced a comprehensive guide to the Scottish planning system for people undertaking community-led developments.
“People who have a vision for their community and who want to develop community assets will find the practical support and guidance on how to make things happen.”
(Petra Biberbach, Chief Executive)
Planning for Community Developments provides people with an introduction to the planning issues they are likely to face, including advice on development management and community engagement, as well as advice on specific topics such as renewable energy and allotments.
“The guide helps people to navigate their way through the planning process – and demonstrates that the planning system can be a positive enabler for communities looking to improve their lot.”
The guide offers valuable guidance to community groups – including development trusts, social enterprises, hall associations, and community councils.
