Community Places

Not-for-profit organisation providing free planning advice to those who can not afford a private consultant. Much of our advice and support for groups is free.

See our website www.communityplaces.info or call us 9023 9444. We work with urban and rural community and voluntary groups across the region in support of their work to influence and shape the planning and development of their communities. We also independently facilitate public and community consultation on planning and public services issues. All of our work is underpinned by our commitment to inclusion, targeting need, equality, and equity. Where we need to charge a fee we only do so when funding is available and agree this with groups in advance. The organisation was established in 1984 (under its previous name Community Technical Aid). It is managed by a voluntary Board of Directors who are elected annually from our membership. We currently have a membership of over 250 community and voluntary groups and networks from across the region. Membership is also open to individuals who support our aims and objectives. The organisation currently employs seven staff to provide our services to groups and individuals.
