The Civic Trust relies heavily on the involvement of the Local Planning Authorities and thoroughly grateful for all their support. The Local Authority Representative is usually a member of the planning department in the Local Planning Authorities, who can provide background information for the planning on each scheme. If the Local Authority Representative isn’t a member of the planning team (i.e. not a planner) then a planner should be on hand to assist or provide information regarding the planning of the individual scheme on the day of judging.
The Local Authority Representative co-ordinates the schemes at a local level and invites schemes to enter and canvass entries; organising the local assessment day; by contacting the assessment team members and planning the day ( i.e. order of visits, refreshments and debrief opportunity).
