Parish Plan
A plan brings together information from the community consultation as well as agencies and local organisations in a realistic and feasible action plan. Often during the consultation process, a range of ideas come forward from small parish improvements to large-scale projects and it is necessary to work on the information gathered to help shape the parish action plan.
The Plan is essentially a tool for change and statement of parish intent and feeling. The Plan should take into account district and county plans and link in with these, where appropriate, as well as any other strategies e.g. the Market & Coastal Towns Initiative.
The Parish Plan is not just a document but a tool that should be used in a range of different ways:
- To set out and record the community’s vision for the parish, as adopted by the Parish Council, in a document that can be
circulated to a range of organisations, including the District and County Councils. - To guide and assist local groups and/or the Parish Council.
- As a kick-start to projects—using the information contained within the action plan to get started!
- As evidence of need, when lobbying for services and improvements.
- As evidence of need, when applying for grant funding
- As evidence of what the parish residents particularly value.
