This unit provides a base for further enquiries and decision-making exercises later in the key stage 3 programme of study. It may provide a foundation for designing coursework enquiries at GCSE level and for examining issues where people have different viewpoints. It provides a reference point for further work on environmental issues and facilitates better understanding of the democratic process in the local community, in relation to planning permission and how residents can object to planning proposals which may be applied in different contexts.
