Common use of Role of Town and Community Councils Clause in Contracts

Role of Town and Community Councils. The Town and Community Councils of Powys have an important role to play in LDP preparation. They will be closely involved throughout the Plan process as both statutory consultees and local stakeholders. Town and Community Councils in areas in or adjoining the Powys Local Planning Authority fall within the category of the Specific Consultation Bodies (section 3.4.3 below) and will be involved as such at each relevant stage as detailed in Table 5. Town & Community Councils have also been identified as LDP Community Stakeholders (see Appendix 4) and will be invited to relevant structured stakeholder discussions/meetings etc as they arise. In terms of how we will engage, the LDP team will have regard to the “Citizen and Community Engagement in Powys” toolkit and take guidance from the Council’s Corporate Communications team to achieve the most appropriate method and level of community engagement with local Councils. It is envisaged that One Voice Wales (a principal organisation who represent and support many town and community councils) will be involved as a Key Stakeholder (see s 3.4.5). The Council will also seek to use appropriate meetings, such as Planning Liaison Meetings, to provide ongoing LDP updates targeted to all Town & Community Councils in Powys.
