Planning Session 1 Dealing with Development Proposals

Zoom

This is Session 1 of 2 Sessions 


 

The clear requirement is for local councils to play an effective role in both influencing planning policies that affect them as local plans are developed at larger scales and in shorter timescales (particularly in County Unitaries) and also for them to engage robustly as local representatives as planning applications come forward. 

How to turn some of this into useful training that helps the current and future situation?

The following sessions could be designed to give information and be as interactive as zoom will allow:

Session 1: Dealing with development proposals:

  • How to engage with developers (this would cover matters of timing of when to engage with developers, how to do this and what to discuss with developers)
  • What is compelling evidence in a planning application context? (this would cover how to assemble evidence to support your position on a planning application)
  • How to respond to planning applications? (this would go through the mechanics of setting out policy arguments and setting material considerations)

PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE THE AGREEMENT OF YOUR COUNCIL TO PAY THE COURSE FEE
