Welcome
Planning for Real® is a unique community planning model that has helped thousands of people across the world shape the neighbourhoods and communities where they live.
With today’s focus on localism and neighbourhood planning, the award-winning and globally-acclaimed Planning for Real® model is more relevant than ever.
The Government wants to empower local communities to take a more active role in the development of planning policies at a local level and the preparation of development proposals. Planning for Real® is the perfect tool for enabling local people to participate in the planning process.
It has delivered locally-led solutions for diverse clients, ranging from small community groups to multi-million pound regeneration schemes for local authorities and developers. With an unrivalled track record stretching back more than 30 years, we are experienced at working with communities on:
- Town and country planning
- Regeneration – physical, social and economic
- Crime reduction
- Flood defence planning
- Transport routes
- Service provision.
By giving people the power to physically shape the built environment using models, Planning for Real® brings the planning process to life.
Planning for Real® is a registered Trademark and is part of the Accord Group. It is delivered from the Neighbourhood Resource Centre for Central England, based in Walsall, West Midlands.
