Getting on Track A personal reflection
Priorities • Planning the scope and content • No circles, just straight lines • Keep deep dives out of the main workstream • Balancing views • Who to involve • How to engage? • Understand the formal process requirements
Positives • Greater community awareness • A greater understanding of planning for area • Joint working with Councils • Greater interaction with community • Working as a team • Engagement of individuals • Spin offs • Help from Cornwall Council and others • Now a library of documents building up
Negatives • Time commitment (greater than anticipated) • Apathy, will anyone vote? • Developer pressure • Concerns of Layman v Barrister at examination • “Consulting” at sub zero temperatures
Be Aware of Timescales pre submission to referendum 7-9 months. Careful of CIL “benefits” Remember adequate consideration of social balance. Wide range of expertise required
What would I change • Correctly budget • Employ professionals • Early consideration of “hooks” for community • An earlier round of consultation?
Is it worthwhile? • Yes
