The document discusses the charrette process for community planning projects in Angus Council. A charrette typically involves a 2-6 week process with technical workshops, public events, and team working sessions to develop a vision and plan. It discusses two specific charrettes - one for tying a new community building into the harbor in Girvan to address flooding issues, and another focused on flood protection in Dumfries. The planning context section notes relevant background documents and the opportunity to shape the local development plan through charrettes. In conclusion, charrettes are described as time, money and resource efficient processes that bring together skills, increase understanding, de-mystify design, foster shared ownership and set up bodies to take projects forward
