Introduction

Citizens can take an active part in decisions affecting them and their communities.

Personal involvement in planning requires access to information and a willingness to contribute an opinion, either as an individual or in a group.

Most processes run to timetables so it is important to make your views, sometimes called 'representations', known in good time.

It is also useful to know how to obtain expert help to represent a personal position effectively.
