PEBA National Conference 2019
Driving Planning: Hitting the Accelerator and Brake...
2019 is likely to be a significant year for planning and the environment. The ever present issues of Climate Change, Brexit and housing delivery have been given a renewed focus by new policy, evidence and the passing of time. Will the planning system now speed up and produce results? Or will a combination of political, economic and legal hurdles result in a slowing down of delivery by the planning system at a time when progress is needed?
THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL IN THE MAIN LECTURE THEATRE. THERE ARE LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE IN A COMFORTABLE OVERFLOW, STREAMING ROOM.
Please be aware these spaces, will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The 2019 PEBA National Conference
will assess the latest developments and proposals for planning and
environmental law, policy and procedure in key areas.
With increasing concern being
expressed about the global impacts of Climate Change the Conference will assess
implications for the planning system in this country and what it could or should
do to address the stated urgency of the situation. Brexit is constantly in the news, but what might this highly charged issue actually mean for planning, the
environment and growth? With a new national planning policy framework in place
and revised planning guidance issued covering housing delivery and viability will
this now mean that high quality residential development can be more readily
achieved?
In all such areas there are
powerful voices for ‘getting on with it’ and implementing/delivering stated
aims with urgency. Is it more likely
that efforts to progress with speed will face hurdles that mean a slower rate
of change than some would like? Could any proposed reform to the appeal system
assist?
Together with a review of the key legal cases of the last year the Conference will consider such critical issues.
With leading practitioners from the Bar, a keynote address from The Hon. Mr Justice Dove and the Frances Patterson Paper being delivered by Bridget Rosewell CBE (appointed Chair of the Independent Review into Planning Appeal Inquiries in June 2018) the National Conference should prove to be an essential day for all those involved in and concerned about planning and the environment.
