Community engagement is key to successful planning. Drawing on local experience in the South East, speakers will offer their views on the success of plan making in effectively involving the public in planning their communities. Most communities are not aware of Local Plans, and residents and communities are usually engaged too late in the process to make a difference. Hence, early engagement would be more meaningful, allowing communities to have a say in how planning policies are shaped.
