Community Led Plans (also known as Parish Plans)
Community Led Planning (CLP) is a step-by-step process that enables every resident to participate in, and contribute to improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of their local area (ACRE).
In Herefordshire the process starts with the Parish Council agreeing to support a CLP and organising an Open Meeting which all community members are encouraged to attend. Lynda Wilcox facilitates this meeting, where a Steering Group is formed.
A Development Support Officer at Community First then supports the Steering Group through the process of producing a CLP. The various stages are detailed in this sample timetable
