Response to Consultation on Community Planning Guidance

In 2015, community planning became a major new responsibility for local councils. The Local Government Act (2015) charged them with leading a process, together with partner organisations, to identify long-term objectives for improving the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of their districts. It is intended that the community plan will contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in Northern Ireland. The Department for Communities published draft statutory guidance for the operation of community planning. 

A copy of Sustainable Northern Ireland's response is available below.
