What is CANPlan?
CANPlan is Chapel Allerton Neighbourhood Planning Group.
We are the designated Neighbourhood Forum for Chapel Allerton, a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. We are a community group working with Leeds City Council on a 10 year vision for Chapel Allerton. Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area.
We want to keep Chapel Allerton a lovely place to live, work and play for everyone.
What is a Neighbourhood Forum?
A neighbourhood forum is an organisation empowered by local planning authority to lead the neighbourhood planning process (in the absence of a town or parish council).
A Forum is drawn from a group of residents, local business people and others with an interest in an area, working together to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for that area.
What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
Neighbourhood planning is a way for communities to have a say in the future of the places where we live and work. It gives the power to produce a plan, written by the Neighbourhood Forum, with real legal weight that directs development in our local area. It helps:
– choose where we want new homes, shops and offices to be built
– have our say on what new buildings should look like
– grant planning permission for the new buildings we want to see
– go ahead
adaptations/change of use to existing buildings/land
