Planning Workshop for Town & Parish Councils. 15th October 2019. Hatherleigh

Do you sit on a town or parish council in Devon? If so, you need
to know how to respond to planning proposals affecting your community. CPRE Devon invites you to a special ‘planning workshop’ for Devon’s town and parish councils on Tuesday, 15th October 2019, from 10am-1pm at Hatherleigh Community Centre.

How town and parish councils respond, as consultees in the
planning process, can significantly influence the outcome. Even though the process seems to be burdened by ever more strategy, policy and jargon, what you say and how you say it can make a real difference to what the local planning authority decides.

Experienced independent Planning Consultant, Jo Widdecombe, will guide you through the process and explain what’s important.

Free admission for member organisations (up to 3 people free
per member council); non-members £10 per person, including refreshments. Cheques should be made payable to CPRE Devon and sent to us at PO Box 26, Beaworthy, EX21 5XN or if you prefer to pay by a bank transfer let us know and we will provide the account details.

So don’t delay, sign up today, to equip your clerk and councillors
with the tools to fight an unwanted proposal or of course to
support a worthwhile one.

To book your place, contact info@cpredevon.org.uk or call us
on 01392 966737.
