Week 1 Introduction to LPPs Part One

This first of two introductory sessions is designed to introduce the basics of a Local Place Plan.  Understanding what a Local Place Plan (LPP) can and can’t achieve for your community enables you to make an informed decision as to whether creating a Local Place Plan is the right step for your group.

  • What is the difference between a Local Place Plan and a Community Action Plan (CAP) ?
  • What things can a LPP do that a Community Action Plan can’t (and vice versa)?
  • What does a Local Place Plan actually oblige your planning department and other Local Authority departments to do?
  • What weight does a Local Place Plan carry in the planning system?
  • What kind of things can we say in a Local Place Plan?
  • What’s the difference between a Local Place Plan proposal compared to a Community Action Plan project?
  • Can we do both a CAP and an LPP at the same time?
  • Can we convert an existing CAP into an LPP?
