Parish Plan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parish Plans are a form of Community Led Plan.

Parish Plans determine the future of communities and how they can change for the better. They are documents that set out a vision for the future of a parish and outlines how that can be achieved in an Action Plan.

The Parish Plan process may include:

  • A Village Appraisal – a household questionnaire to assess needs and aspirations of local people
  • Participatory Appraisals – hands-on interactive workshops
  • Business Surveys
  • Creation of an Action Plan

Rural Community Councils support groups local communities create Parish Plans.

Another community led plan is a Village design statement
