Parish plan explained
In England, parish plans are a form of community-led plan.[1]
Parish plans determine the future of communities and how they can change for the better. They are documents that set out a vision for the future of a parish and outlines how that can be achieved in an action plan.
The parish plan process may include:[2]
- a village appraisal – a household questionnaire to assess needs and aspirations of local people
- participatory appraisals – hands-on interactive workshops
- business surveys
- the creation of an action plan
Members of the rural community action network support groups in local communities to create parish plans. Another type of community-led plan is a village design statement.
