What is a Parish Plan?

A parish and community-led plan is a complete action plan which covers issues that concern your community. Through consultation, issues are identified and prioritised, and through partnership they’re achieved. A parish and community-led plan sets out a vision for the future of your community. It will include social, economical and environmental aspects. The plan can be used to influence agencies' strategies and relates to the local development framework.

What are the benefits to your community of a Parish and Community-led Plan?

• Bringing residents together and helping forge greater community spirit
• Identifying skills and talents within your community
• Increasing the potential to work in partnership
