How does the Scottish Civic Trust interact with the Scottish Planning System?

22 March 2012

UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY 22ND MARCH 4-6PM.

The Scottish Civic Trust is the national body for the civic movement in Scotland. It engages proactively with local civic groups across Scotland and regularly comments and campaigns for the improvement of Scotland's individual buildings and areas of distinction.

How does the Trust interact with the Scottish Planning System?

John Pelan & Gemma Wild will give an overview of the Scottish Civic Trust's role, including casework and the relationship with local authorities and other bodies, and how the Trust can support local groups in influencing planning decisions.

A representative from Planning Aid Scotland will then give a summary of the work of the independent and impartial organisation, which aims to help people shape their communities and improve the way people engage with the planning system. PAS offers free planning advice, training and action research that can help you get involved in planning in your area.

This free event, hosted by Kinross-shire Civic Trust, is taking place on Thursday 22nd March at 4-6pm at Loch Leven Community Campus in Kinross.
