What is a Parish Plan?

A Parish Plan determines the future of your community, and how it can change for the better. 

It is a document that sets out a vision for the future of the parish and outlines how that can be achieved in an Action Plan.

The Parish Plan process may include:

• A Village Appraisal – a household questionnaire to assess needs and aspirations of local people
• Participatory Appraisals – hands-on interactive workshops
• Business Surveys
• Creation of an Action Plan
