This online toolkit aims to help communities - particularly in towns and cities in England - to make a success of local planning. It is made up of materials and links we hope will make it easier to do Neighbourhood Planning so that it links up with wider community community planning.
The toolkit has been produced by Chamberlain Forum, Birmingham City Council and representatives of communities and community groups in parts of Birmingham involved in community-led planning.
For information or a chat about it, contact Paul Slatter at Chamberlain Forum; use the contact form or tweet @paulgslatter
