LOCAL AUTHORITIES

We believe co-operative work and shared knowledge are the keys to success

Supporting Local Authorities to Meet Local Economic Needs 

Each neighbourhood is unique.  It needs local intelligence and working with local providers.  This is a piece of work in itself.  Build Local works with Local Planning Authorities to refine planning practice to bring to life development policy and create maximum social value from all projects, specifically from Major Developments.  By sharing experience in understanding what works well where, we can create lasting legacies in our neighbourhoods.

How we support Local Authorities

  • Draft an Economic Development Strategy or Discussion Paper for Economic Development based on the levers in the Local Plan (or draft Local Plan) and s106 Supplementary Planning Documents,                                    
  • Business Analysis to improve, and make more efficient, the inclusion of s106 obligations into Pre-apps and planning applications taking into account Social Value commitments made by the developer in their development bid,                                                                       
  • Planning systems and policy integration - Taking new policies and integrating into current systems e.g. Uniform and IDOX, and
  • Community Engagement - Creating community projects to engage socially and economically excluded groups of residents.
