How to Embed Social Value in Planning
Right now, a huge amount of social value funds are sitting on the table, untouched. The way things stand, communities are missing out on up to £30 billion of social benefits – all because developers are not being asked to factor social value into the planning applications.
We’ve spent six months creating a paper, Embedding Social Value into Planning, that tells you everything you need to know. More than 30 organisations have helped us from the planning, design and development communities by participating in our taskforce. They’re all just as keen as us to find answers, to uncover ways that all this money can be unlocked and used for community benefit.
