Pressure on the planning system has never been greater. At this critical stage, with reform from the Planning Bill and other legislation, you need to know how to navigate the new system effectively. Now, more than ever with the scale and pace of development proposed, effective planning must support delivery of the right type of development for local communities.

Strengthening sustainable development through streamlined planning

Join local authorities, developers and key stakeholders to ensure economic growth goes hand in hand with sustainable development.

With a focus on policy development and its practical implementation, learn how to get better results from the planning process first time. Choose from leading case studies, detailing how to successfully utilise planning to support development in housing, regeneration, infrastructure and environmental projects. Leading policy makers and expert practitioners will offer insights and practical guidance on the key changes, including:


  • The impact of planning reform upon local decision making
  • How to achieve social and environmental sustainability
  • Funding infrastructure investment through the Planning Charge
  • How local authorities will work with RDAs and an independent planning authority
  • Cementing corporate and community buy-in through effective engagement strategies
  • Joining up strategic local priorities: Aligning your Sustainable Community Strategy, LDF, LAA and Core Strategy
