Local Plans. We have lots of Commonplace projects focussed on Local Plans. If you are working on a strategy for your plan get in touch. Here are a few recent examples: 📍Revised Draft Lambeth Local Views: The second phase of this engagement is now live! Lambeth Council wants local views on our Revised Draft Lambeth Local Views Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which provides guidance on locally designated views to ensure they are well managed into the future. https://hubs.ly/Q02hSfdw0 📍Newcastle Plan: It's the chance of local people to shape how Newcastle will look up to 2045! Newcastle Council has set out nine ambitions that they think will make Newcastle a better place. https://hubs.ly/Q02hSfgs0 📍East Hampshire Local Plan: This engagement is the second phase of East Hampshire District Council's public consultation on their Draft Local Plan. (We especially love the use of an interactive flipbook) https://hubs.ly/Q02hScfy0 📍Cycle Movement Strategy: Northumberland Avenue: No local plan this time... This engagement covers phase 2 of Westminster's Cycle Movement Strategy and the council would like local input before before a decision is taken on implementing the scheme. https://hubs.ly/Q02hSgnq0

🌟 Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the South West Procurement Alliance Social Value Conference, and was thrilled to discover how closely the themes and takeaways align with the work we are doing 🤝 in community rail. Discussions around social value for industry and public sector partners demonstrated the need for place-based approaches coupled with meaningful community participation. I'm proud that Gloucestershire Community Rail Partnership and Oxfordshire Community Rail Partnership are putting these principles at the forefront of everything we do. 💡 Our innovative approaches, including co-creation, youth-led research, and interactive place-based interventions, allow us to gather invaluable insights and create lasting impact for local communities and places. 📣 Some key takeaways from the conference: 1. The importance of a lifecycle commitment to social value 🌱 2. The need to measure non-monetary benefits 📊 3. The value of attracting diverse talent 🌈 4. The power of building a network of social enterprises 🌐 5. Local place and people need to be at the heart of decision making We are dedicated to reducing the gap between local communities, rail, travel and our industry partners while delivering measurable social value. I left inspired to commit to collaborating further so as to create a brighter future for all! 💫 If you share a passion for social value driven by a place-based focus driving community benefit, please get in touch🤝 #SocialValue #CommunityEngagement #YouthRepresentation #SWPAConference

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our Meet the Speaker series in the lead-up to our forthcoming BNG Breakfast event in partnership with Belmont Estate, happening in just one month! 🎉 Every week, we will unveil a new speaker from our esteemed panel. Each expert will share insights about their work, professional perspectives on the current BNG landscape, and their vision for the future over the next six months. We are kicking off the series with Andrew Ross, Director-Planning of Turley; independent advisors providing town planning and related services in the UK. " I believe BNG provides an opportunity to demonstrate a clear and quantifiable benefit associated with development. However, there is currently too much confusion around decision-making with applications submitted prior to it being mandatory. There are also challenges associated with ensuring effective on-site management regimes, rather than using specific offsite solutions. In the next 6 months, I hope to see more clarity and consistency in the policy with less local variation to try and help more people know where they stand with the system." Interested in hearing more insights from Andrew and the wider panel, alongside networking outside in nature?
