One of the most interesting things to come out of my research in both of the PAS charrettes I attended recently was the new locality planning approach. This is a duty through the 2015 Community Empowerment Act on Community Planning Partnership to deliver a plan designed to reduce inequalities between their most deprived areas.
The locality planing approach is very new; for a good introduction check out the latest guidance from SURF : more detail is still forthcoming from the Scottish Government! However, the research has highlighted the intriguing view that the comprehensiveness of the planning approach represents a return to the spirit of the 'regeneration' ethos of the past twenty or thirty years; at least in terms of creating engagement...but will the money for implementing change be forthcoming too?
