Urban Planning Issues ... UK Style

If you're planning to be in England in November (or just want an excuse to go) why not attend the Property Week Conference called Planning Under the Coalition - The Futur of Planning and Regeneration in the UK on 9 November 2020 in London ?

Planning under the coalition is a one day event bringing together key players from the private and public sector to chart the way forward for planning and regeneration in the UK.

With a focus on the Decentralisation and Localism Bill and housing and regeneration, this timely conference will bring you up-to-speed on UK planning reform, the impact on commercial development and provide answers to your crucial questions including:

• Localism: how will it work in practice and will it be a help or hindrance to commercial development?
• Housing targets: what is the solution to the supply shortage now that housing targets have been abolished?
• Funding new development: what financial burden will be carried by the private sector?
• Public spending cuts: how will local authorities deliver major regeneration schemes going forward?

Speakers include:

• Andrew Pratt, managing director of Residential, Grainger PLC
• Mike Straw, director, CgMs Consulting
• Jon Rouse, chief executive, Croydon Council
• Tony Reeves, chief executive, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council
• Jackie Sadek, head of regeneration, CB Richard Ellis & UK Regeneration
• Nigel Hugill, executive chairman, Urban&Civic
• Waheed Nazir, director of regeneration, Birmingham City Council

See you in London in November.
