Putting plans into action

We always appreciate collaborating with Planning Aid Wales, and the Colwyn Bay Place Plan exemplifies why: a comprehensive overall plan making process that brought together tried and tested techniques, with innovative and accessible digital methods.

The resulting Colwyn Bay Place Plan is both meaningful and impactful, enabling genuine representation in the planning system, as well as a really practical local action plan covering a wide range of things that matter to the community.

We were recently in Colwyn Bay in north wales with the lovely Planning Aid Wales team delivering workshops to work with the community to begin the process of putting the plan into action.

The digital storytelling really brings this project to life – take a look at the overview video below. It was brilliantly captured by Jonny Campbell – Videographer, Place Agency.

It was shortlisted for a 2025 RTPI award for Excellence in Digital Planning Practice.
