Community planning

As well as neighbourhood planning, local communities can also produce other types of community-led plans. This is commonly known as community planning and can include a range of documents such as parish plans and village design statements.

Communities can also undertake evidence documents such as housing needs surveys.

If you are considering undertaking a community plan, it is suggested you contact the Planning Policy team by emailing planning.policy@iow.gov.uk.

The following guides can provide help:

• Local Voices, Island Issues – a guide on how to develop your community led plan
• Isle of Wight Community Planning Guide Resource Pack.

Community-led planning is about communities agreeing a shared vision and priorities for their area. The below list provides further details on existing plans and statements.
