Brighton Planning design and undertake a range of bespoke community engagement events to best suit the clients needs and gain as much support as possible. Events can vary from drop-in sessions to walk arounds and are aimed to provide the client with constructive feedback that can inform projects and designs.

Brighton Planning work closely with town councils, local businesses and community groups to provide planning knowledge and additional skill capacity. We can do this in a range of ways, from providing bespoke training modules for councillors, council staff and local groups to one-off advice sessions on specific projects.

There are a range of planning tools that help communities shape their local areas. These can range from informal local advice to developing a statutory neighbourhood plan which is formally taken into consideration when planning decisions are made by the local council. Planning tools help provide a better quality of design and provide guidance as to how future development within the area should be undertaken. Brighton Planning will help determine which tools benefit your community need and how these can be achieved.
