Local planning matters
Find out about what CPRE West Yorkshire are saying about Local Plans in your area
CPRE West Yorkshire works hard to engage with local planning consultations and strategic planning matters in each area it covers.
We campaign to help communities influence for better outcomes for the countryside of West Yorkshire.
CPRE Guidance
For engaging with planning from a community perspective, the popular guide from CPRE and the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) is a helpful resource.
Split into two parts, How to respond… starts with a clear introduction to the English planning system. It breaks down planning jargon and key phrases to help the public better understand how the planning system works and describes how planning applications are assessed.
The guide then sets out eight key steps for engaging with planning applications. From understanding the context to drafting responses and gathering support, this section empowers the public to support good development and to take a positive, active part in shaping what gets built in their area.

You can learn more about how we influence change in your Local Authority area on each of our local ‘Planning Matters’ pages.
