What gets built and where

Places to live that are good for people and nature.

The places we live should provide us with access to everything we need for a good quality of life. It’s just common sense.

We’re working with local partners and urging the government to create well-designed, vibrant places that people want to live in – with the homes people need, great public transport links and easy access to work, leisure and nature.

We believe that a community voice in planning in the local area is essential.

Responding to planning applications

• Help to understand the planning system – a range of resources to help you understand the planning system and make your own responses
• How and when we can get involved in responses – in some circumstances, we can get involved directly in responding to applications
