Despite the fact that community participation is known to have major benefits in terms of resilience andwellbeing (see for example Lewis et al, 2019) there is a general lack of ‘systematic empirical studies on howpublic participation is practiced’ (Uittenbroek et al., 2019, p.16). Community Consultation for Quality of Life(CCQOL) is an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project that seeks to develop a Code of Conductfor inclusive participatory planning. The first stage of the project is this systematic review of the literatureon public participation, focusing on the UK since 2010. The review was guided by questions around howcommunity consultation could: (1) be made more impactful and effective across the diverse policy contexts ofthe UK; (2) be made more representative and inclusive, including through e-participation; and (3) form a longterm project that fosters ongoing civic debate. While each of the devolved nations has a different approachto planning and participation, summarised in Section 1, the main focus of this account is on England
