One Voice Wales 2014 Training Courses
We are delighted that the demand for our courses continues to grow and
based on the feedback that we receive, it is clear that participants gain
significant benefit from their training experience enabling them to enhance
personal contributions to the work of their respective councils. Almost all
councillors attending our courses indicate that they wish to attend further
courses and we sincerely hope that we will see many familiar faces in 2014
as well as meeting councillors who have not previously attended our
courses. Well informed and knowledgeable, councils are more likely to be
effective and better placed to avoid things going badly wrong which can
involve significant time and cost issues .

Quotes from previous training sessions:
“Absolutely brilliant – busting myths and shedding light on planning
applications and the Local Development Plan”
“The training session was interesting and interactive right the way
through and the facilitator was very knowledgeable”
One Voice Wales is currently working in partnership with Planning Aid
Wales to offer a series of training sessions for Community and Town
Councils on the land-use planning system in Wales.
Planning Aid Wales, an independent and impartial charity, delivers high
quality training that explains the Welsh land-use planning system in a
clear, friendly and informal way. It encourages Councillors to focus
their effort on effectively engaging with local planning issues.
Training sessions are generally two and a half hours long and can
cover any of the following topics:

An overview of the Welsh planning system

Understanding Local Development Plans

Making effective comments on planning applications

How to be effective in influencing emerging planning policies
Bespoke training sessions are also available to meet individual needs.
If your Council would like to host a training course at a venue that you
can provide please contact Paul Egan on
paul.egan@onevoicewales.org.uk.
One Voice Wales will arrange to contact neighbouring councils in an
effort to sell spare places not needed by your own Councillors and if

refreshments provided by the host Council) will be £20.00.
