Planning Aid
Planning Aid provides free, independent and professional advice and support on town and country planning matters to disadvantaged community groups and individuals who cannot afford to pay fees to a planning consultant. It complements the work of local authorities, but is wholly independent of them. Site hosted by the Royal Town Planning Institiute.
CABE Space
CABE Space aims to bring excellence to the design, management and maintenance of parks and public space in our towns and cities. CABE education exists to ensure that young people understand the value of well designed buildings and spaces. Our ultimate ambition is to nurture a generation of confident and demanding citizens, to play an active role in improving the villages, towns and cities that we live in. We were established by CABE, Commission for Architecture & the Built Environment in 2002.
This website provides an overview of these new methods of community planning. It is aimed at everyone concerned with the built environment. Jargon is avoided and material is presented in a universally applicable, how-to-do-it style. Whether you are a resident wanting to improve the place where you live, a policy maker interested in improving general practice, or a development professional working on a specific project, you should quickly be able to find what you need.

New Life for Main Roads
Transport 2000's Revitalising Communities on Main Roads project. Main roads are often noisy, polluted places, dominated by cars and dangerous for people on foot. But main roads are also the places we use to get to the shops, catch the bus, walk to the local park or visit the doctor. Most people use main roads every day to get to work or to walk to school. We need new life for our main roads!
