Rebooting National Planning Policy: How Is The System Working 12 Months On?
A Review of the 2018 and 2019 Revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework
The National Planning Policy Framework was revised in 2018 then further amended in
February 2019. It addresses
key issues in relation to the delivery of housing and economic growth. It
remains to be seen whether national policy can keep pace with market trends and
case law, as well as reacting to the practical consequences of information or
circumstances which may undermine how the planning system operates in practice. This
programme will examine how the NPPF plays out in practice.

International Summit: Delivering Land Assembly - UK Dilemmas, Global Solutions
Every country has unique challenges in the modern world. The successful delivery of housing, modern services and infrastructure, regenerating city and town centres, as well as business communities, all are common ambitions and in every case, the acquisition of land and rights are the vital ingredients. Each country and each scheme also has a unique set of dilemmas with the potential to frustrate and disable and whilst no one country has the magic ingredients to overcome such obstacles, we can learn and potentially find solutions from the global market place. The key is to understand what solutions work in different jurisdictions and then consider whether the solutions can be readily applied elsewhere. This is how best practice evolves and matures and this event will focus on this worldwide. It will unquestionably be of value for practitioners wherever they might be based.
