Community Led Village Design Statements Toolkit

Built/Urban Heritage & Archaeology

The toolkit sets out a step-by-step guide to undertaking a community-led VDS, using a collaborative and participative process. It has been developed in accordance with the UNECE Aarhus Convention and the European Landscape Convention.

While this toolkit deals specifically with community-led VDS, it is hoped that the information and guidance provided on relevant structures, processes, outputs and potential outcomes will enable and empower local communities throughout the island of Ireland to become involved in shaping their local environments.
