Planning and Infrastructure Law
Why attend this conference?
The introduction of the Localism Bill and devolution of decision-making powers to local government means a radical overhaul of the planning system. Significant changes include the abolition of RSSs, replacement of the IPC, use of Hybrid Bills for mega projects and modifications to the Community Infrastructure Levy. With concerns looming over the subsequent uncertainties created, those involved in planning law require clarity on the key issues as a matter of urgency.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to hear from a diverse panel of expert speakers including Mark Lee of the CLG who has an overarching role on the planning elements of the Localism Bill, Sir Michael Pitt, chair of the IPC, Mark Southgate of the Planning Inspectorate and Kate Henderson, chief executive of the Town and Country Planning Association. They will guide you through the latest developments enabling you to fully prepare for the new planning system. Attending this conference will enable you to address the following key issues:
- How will the revocation of the RSSs impact on housing delivery?
- What are the key developments in the National Planning Framework and the future of PPS?
- What is the future of the IPC including transitional arrangements and the future of National Policy Statements?
- What are the promotional options in major projects – DCO or Hybrid Bill?
