In particular, we will examine the role of AMPlify West Yorkshire, a community-based planning manifesto which has been developed through conversations with citizens and interested participants across the region.
It provides an alternative approach to securing a planning framework through an open democratic process.
We will be reflecting on this alternative framework and how this planning process could potentially be applied across other regions and local administrations in England.
