The Royal Town Planning Institute has backed a new report from the Faith and Place network containing 15 key recommendations for faith groups, planners, developers and local authorities following the launch of the briefing on 15 October.
Faith and Place network writes:
The Faith and Place network policy briefing was launched at the House of Commons on Thursday 15 October 2015. The evening was opened Stephen Timms MP reflecting on faith and place, followed by the network leaders giving an overview of the briefing recommendations. Responding to the briefing were Mustafa Field MBE (Faiths Forum for London) and Rev Katei Kirby (Ruach City Church). A panel was convened to discuss ways in which the recommendations will be taken forward.
Video of the evening will soon be available on the website video tab…
The Royal Town Planning Institute published its support for the Faith and Place policy briefing on 20th October in The Planner, its official magazine.
Kathie Pollard, policy and networks advisor (pictured), said: ‘We are very pleased to have been a part of the creation of this paper as it is an incredibly important and timely piece of work which planners and faith communities should engage with. It helps planners and decision-makers to make the most well-informed choices to create great places for communities to live, work and play in – including places of worship. We believe that it is a good guide for conversations between faith groups and local authorities on how to use space and to engage in the planning system.’
