Planning Engagement Partnership (PEP)

The Planning Engagement Partnership was established in October 2020 with the purpose of enhancing the quality and depth of community engagement in the planning process at both the regional and local planning levels and help to improve the planning system experience for users. 

The Partnership brought together a cross-section of key planning stakeholders involved in planning in Northern Ireland including Community Places, an organisation with extensive experience in providing support to people and communities engaging in the planning process, over a short period of time to share experiences and good practice and to write a report containing a number of recommendations for improvement.
