Some benefits of Community-Led Planning include:
- Look forward for the next 5 to 10 years rather than just responding to tasks that need immediate action.
- Form a collective view of what people in the parish want, providing a stronger voice for the community.
- Provide evidence of need and commitment, which may be used to influence local authorities, service providers and funders.
- Test or encourage community backing for a project that has already been identified.
- Bring everyone in the area together, strengthening community spirit & involvement.
