Development plans layout the future aspirations and goals for a site or area. They are valuable in providing focus, for promoting objectives and obtaining funding from within your organisation or from exernal funding agencies.The consultation process involved ensures support for your projects.
Examples
Drinkfield Marsh
 Drinkfield Marsh is an area of natural open space including wetland and open water on the outskirts of Darlington. It is surrounded by housing and industry. It has been used for informal recreation for a number of years but has been troubled by the misuse often seen in urban fringe sites. Its potential for future formal and informal recreation and community involvement led to the production of a development plan after public consultation at all levels. On the basis of the plan a Community Countryside Officer has been appointed and substantial external funding obtained for a number of major projects. The site is currently being improved to the benefit of the local community.
Stillington Greenway
 A proposal to link a number of minor and under-used sites, including Stillington Forest Park, to Hardwick Hall Country Park in Co. Durham, was developed. The aim is to produce a "greenway" for cyclists, horse- riders and walkers to enjoy free of the worry of heavy traffic. Making use of existing under-used facilities and rights of way the proposal has the potential to be a major recreational asset with minimal financial outlay.
