Community Rights resource pack15 July 2010
This pack will help local people and communities get their voices heard in decisions which affect them.
It covers the three most important areas where people have rights in environmental decision-making:
- your right to know
- your right to participate
- your right to challenge
The guides below are designed to be 'stand alone' so you can pick and mix what's most relevant to you.
Some of the detail is quite complicated, but don't be put off. Just remember that local knowledge is just as important as expert and professional opinion.
Please note: The planning system is different in Wales and Northern Ireland.
Planning reforms are on the way, so please check here for updates
