Purpose

The Community-led Regeneration Charter (CRC) is a non-statutory document co-developed between the council, the community and other stakeholders involved in growth and regeneration projects. Framed by the council’s Connected Communities vision and the Community Charter (July 2025), the CRC's principal purpose is to set out how communities can effectively and meaningfully engage with and inform projects that are coming forward within their towns and neighbourhoods, in order that their unique needs are met and delivered by those leading the projects, including the council and private developers. The CRC also clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholder's involved in regeneration and growth projects and will be accompanied by a toolkit for its practical application
