There are different ways to lead the delivery of a Local Place Plan (LPP). A full local place plan process starts by engaging your community from scratch and can take around 6 months to complete.
However, it is also possible to develop a local place plan based on consultation information you already have to hand (an existing community action plan for example) or by focussing on just three or four key sites where you want to see change happen.
This approach can take less time. At the heart of every LPP process is a core group of committed local volunteers who lead the process, whether they hire someone from the outside to help or deliver the plan themselves.
Gathering a trusted group of local leaders with a broad spread of local relationships and responsibilities as early as possible helps spread the load and build trust from the start.
A good place to start can be talking through the options with an experienced guide.
Please contact us at Place at the Table for an initial free chat to begin to think through your needs and aspirations. We also offer an introductory training session on the basics of Local Place Planning which can be delivered online or in person to your group.
