520			_aHighlights the role of planning in the development of community forests. Community forests are created by local partnerships with the aim of improving the quality of life on urban fringes and were first established 12 years ago. In 2001 a Countryside Agency commissioned study found that a range of planning mechanisms are effective in bringing together forest visions and local authority decisions. These include supplementary planning guidance (SPG), local management zones, extending recreational planning obligations, and the National Forest Company's practical developers' guide. Provides a number of community forest case studies and points out that community forest approaches already fit in with the processes of sub-regional planning. "Planning for delivery of quality of life benefits: an evaluation of planning mechanisms with respect to community" is available priced £2 from Countryside Agency Publications t +44 (0)870 120 6466.
