Briefing

With Chief Planner, Joanna Averley

As we head into a busy Autumn for the Government’s planning reform agenda, please join us for our annual update from the Chief Planner.

Why Attend?

We are expecting some big consultations including National Development Management Policies, local plan reform and further changes to the NPPF. It has also been reported that another Planning Bill is on the horizon. Hear directly from Joanna on the Government’s timescales for these and the ideas that are being developed to help speed up the planning process and get delivery back on track, both in London and across the country.
