THE PLYMOUTH PLANCONVERSATION (October 2012 – June 2013)The first consultation for the Plymouth Plan started with the “What’s the Future” pop-up shop, and continued as we travelled around the city with a sofa and some knitting, chatting to people about the future of Plymouth…

PLYMOUTH PLAN CONNECTIONS (July 2014 - October 2014)The sofa was back…visiting over 60 different venues chatting to people about what they liked/didn’t like in the city. We also asked local community groups to host their own events and workshops to discuss the 8 PPAAs and 24 Topic Papers.

PLYMOUTH PLAN CHECK-UP(21 January 2015 – 04 March 2015)The comments and evidence base which had been collected so far, were used to draft Plymouth Plan Part One. This was then consulted on as well as a Sustainability Appraisal and a booklet version of an Equality Impact Assessment.

Why is the Plymouth Plan Successful?

1 – An integrated Strategy lets you tell your story once, very simply and effectively.

2 – It enables more efficient use of limited resources – switch from writing strategies to delivering actions.

3 – It can help to build Cross Party political support – which is essential

4 – It makes your Chief Executive’s life simpler, and their commitment is critical.

5 - Continuous Engagement must be a commitment, and seen to be real.

6 - Watch the Moving Goalpost - keep on top of the latest developments in national planning policy and innovate solutions – stick to your Vision.

7 - We still have key challenges – managing a complex workload, finding a way through Examination…always continue to innovate and evolve solutions!
