Parish Plans have been promoted for several years by Community Futures (the rural Community Council for Lancashire) and the Countryside Agency, as a means of councils and residents becoming proactive in managing their future direction. A growing number of parishes in Lancashire have completed plans assisted by the Vital Villages programme.
The plan will be used by Slyne with Hest Parish Council, to influence Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and other public and private bodies which effect services and planning matters in the Parish.
