Community charter
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states: ‘A community charter document combines a ‘constitution’ and ‘strategic plan’, a voluntary partnership agreement between the project team and the community. The purpose of a community charter is to provide a shared vision, define local needs and a set of principles that guide a development initiative and inform decision-making processes at the local level. It can serve as a reference point for the project team, stakeholders and participants, and local authorities when considering policies, projects, or actions that may impact the community. A charter serves as a guiding framework for engagement associated with a development, aiming to improve the quality of life for communities. It is important to note that the specific details and implementation of community charters can vary across different regions and localities within the UK, as they are typically developed at the local level to reflect each community’s unique characteristics and needs.’
