I have experience of community development work but somehow this
was different. It involved understanding the constraints imposed by
environmental and planning issues, of accepting growth in an area
where everyone wanted to close the town’s gates.
•
Instead of a top down approach – this is what is best for your area, it
was a bottom up approach – this is what we want so go and make it
work in planning terms. Tension erupted as the “professionals” had
to listen and produce rather than produce and inform.
•
The status of the town council has definitely changed, somehow it
seems there is more respect for what a town council does and can do.
The district council is involving us at the first stage of planning
enquiries.
Helen Stewart, Town Clerk
The early evidence from Leeds is that the
neighbourhood planning process can have a positive
role to play in the future of communities and creating a
consensus around that future and the form it might
take. This future is not just about managing growth in
prosperous middle class areas, but crucially, as the
evidence of Holbeck is beginning to demonstrate, has
a real role to play in unleashing untapped resources
and initiatives latent in the local communities in the
more deprived areas of the UK. Neighbourhood
planning is a welcome experiment in modern planning
that deserves its chance to continue.

WE’VE DONE IT!
•
Congratulations to all ESJF members and associate members
•
On the evening of 16th July Exeter City Council adopted the Exeter
St James Neighbourhood Plan.
•
The Plan now forms part of Exeter’s statutory development plans
and in future the policies it contains will be used to help determine
planning applications.
•
This decision can also be seen as the green light for projects which
have been proposed.
•
The Steering Group has been eager to make a start with Queens
Crescent Garden, the top priority project, and plans are being made
for the setting up of a Community Interest Company to assume
responsibility for the development and future management of this
community green space
Students and

Neighbourhood Planning and
Students
• Give hard pressed neighbourhood planners an injection
of help and enthusiasm from students eager to learn
about planning and put their learning to practical use
• Give students
 experience of real world planning, community
perspectives, and a major reform to the planning system
 the basis for essays and research
• Help to embed neighbourhood planning in the practice
and culture of planning over the long term
• Masters Planning students at Oxford Brookes
undertaking their dissertation are making a major
contribution to the Headington Neighbourhood
Planning process.
• The presentation from students had an extraordinary
range of brilliant ideas to promote participation. Can
we improve participation in our plan through
Mad/Sad/Glad boards, visioning festivals, chair
bombing or other means?
• Students have given us wonderful think pieces.
Invigorating to have a fresh set of eyes. Some of their
ideas will definitely feature in the plan.
