What is a Community Led Plan? Community Led Planning (CLP) is a step-by-step process that can empower our community to take action and make our local area a better place. This is very much about working to ensure different people from our village come together to develop a shared understanding of the features and characteristics of our community and ultimately agree upon a range of actions that can be delivered for the benefit of everyone locally.
In choosing to develop a Community Led Plan for our area, we will be following in the footsteps of over 4,000 other communities that have produced similar plans since the late 1970s. These plans have assumed different names over this period, including Village Appraisals, Parish Plans and Market Town Healthchecks but their defining principles and benefits have remained the same.
What does a CLP look like? A final plan will contain an action plan – it’s not just all about vision! • identifying actions needed • who will do them • the time needed to do it An example of a CLP developed in 2016 • BinfieldHeathCLP2016.pdf
Why do a Plan? • Enables the whole community to contribute and encourages a greater sense of community spirit • Influence policy makers and funders • Identifies opportunities for new projects and helps improve existing facilities • Highlights issues of concern to villagers • A chance for people to get together to improve the quality of life for all • Mandate for the Parish Council
Developing the FBP CLP The PC have agreed to set up a Parish Council Working Group (to be called CLP Steering Group ) with terms of reference, delegated authority to produce the CLP and ability to co- opt villagers to the committee. It is expected that the CLP Steering Group will set up sub groups that can focus on a particular area of the plan. For example a sub group might work on developing the playground.

Developing the Plan – 4 Stages L aunching the plan E videncing local needs and aspirations A greeing and prioritising actions D elivering and monitoring actions
Getting Started Launch the PLAN! Establish a Steering Group Plan the timetable ideas on how you will involve everyone
Consult and plan actions Consult, using a variety of activities and a survey Use the results to identify actions First draft of the Plan
Completing and implementing Finalise the Plan Begin implementing the plan Monitor and review The whole process can take up to 18 months
Who should be involved? Everyone in the community should be involved in the plan - led by our CLP steering committee. The Parish Council’s role is to support the steering committee and to endorse and adopt the final plan.
Next steps? The Parish Council are looking to set up the CLP Steering Group with at least five villagers and two parish councillors to drive the Plan. The Steering Group can co-opt other villagers to join the group either as Steering Group members or as leads for any working groups that are set up to drive elements of the CLP. We need a cross section of our community to be involved to make the plan as relevant to all in our community.
