WELCOME TO SHAPING COMMUNITIES!
Shaping Communities is about engaging people in neighbourhoods to make recommendations on future developments in their area based on their community's needs
The Planning System
Planning around new residential and business developments has 2 stages:
- Pre-planning - developers need to produce a social impact statement (how the development will affect the local community)
- Planning - where full details of the development go for approval
New legislation states that local communities should be involved and consulted at both stages.
What is 'Shaping Communities'
Ealing Community Network together with the Ealing Planning in the Community Working Group has developed a web based community consultation tool which will be used by panels that represent the main areas within the borough of Ealing (Acton, Ealing, Greenford/Perivale, Hanwell, Southall and Northolt). These panels will use this facility to assess the impact a development would have on their local area and the facilities that should be provided as part of a development e.g. open space, children's play service.
If you are a developer wishing to load details of your planning proposal or if you are a panel member wishing to view planning proposals then please login to this website. If you have not registered please go back to the homepage to do so.
