Parish Online brings Saffron Walden Neighbourhood Plan to life

Parish Online brings Saffron Walden Neighbourhood Plan to life

Summary

The use of maps as part of Saffron Walden’s Neighbourhood Plan allowed the Council to make complex issues easily understandable by including relevant maps and diagrams.

 

Challenge

The Neighbourhood Plan team at Saffron Walden needed an effective way to communicate the areas that are included in the plan including;

  • Housing
  • Design
  • Business
  • Connectivity
  • Ecology
  • Infrastructure
  • Transport
  • Open Space and Recreation
  • Arts and Culture
  • Education
  • Healthcare

One of the main aims of using digital mapping as part of their Neighbourhood Plan was to ensure the document was easy to understand, removed uncertainty regarding the areas of issue, and to make it an engaging read. By drawing readers in they hoped to gain valuable and meaningful feedback from the public.
