Putting planning at the heart of your community - learning exchanges

Time and date:

09:00–17:00, February 14, 2008

Location:

London

Description:

The four local authorities awarded Beacon status in 2007-2008 for ‘promoting sustainable communities through the planning process’ are holding two learning exchange events for local authority chief executives, senior development control and policy planners, heads of service, managers, and leading members. They will consider: what are the government’s key messages on planning? What skills do local authorities need to meet new requirements? How have the Beacons addressed some of these issues and what lessons have they learnt? The learning exchange events will help answer these and other topical questions regarding planning’s contribution to sustainable communities.
