Community Planning Advice Service (CPAS)

The Town Planning Service is exploring options that would enable the establishment of a Community Planning Advice Service (CPAS). The CPAS would provide independent, supportive and insightful, planning advice and guidance to local communities so that they can engage more effectively in the planning process. The ambition is to develop a co-ordinated service that can also provide training to those that have been engaged with in relation to emerging development proposals.
