Shaping Sustainable Places - Public Consultation

Overview

Welcome to the Public Consultation for the Shaping Sustainable Places Programme.

Shaping Sustainable Places has been developed by the Department for Communities working in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, and the Department for Infrastructure.

Shaping Sustainable Places proposes a long-term programme of regeneration interventions to reshape our village, town and city centres. We are carrying out a public consultation on the draft proposals to test our new approach and to invite fresh insights and perspectives.

We aim to develop a final programme for Ministerial and Executive Committee consideration by the end of 2025.

Why your views matter

We understand that this programme will impact many people and places, so we are keen to hear from a wide range of people and organisations through this consultation.
