Planning Aid is a Charity that provides free, independent and professional advice planning issues to community groups and individuals who cannot afford to pay a planning consultant.
Advice is given on most planning issues; from making a personal planning application, to apposing an application proposed for your neighbourhood.
Planning Aid also offers the opportunity for community groups to get involved in an exciting range of community planning programmes which include training and educational activities. These programmes are aimed at helping groups and individuals, particularly in disadvantaged areas, to understand the planning system and influence what happens in their neighbourhood.
