EVENT: A new planning environment – and what it means for development and levelling up agenda?

Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove recently unveiled the government’s strategy to close the gap between rich and poor areas of the UK and improve opportunities over the next eight years.

But does the strategy go far enough to facilitate a new wave of projects that will make a positive contribution to the levelling up agenda, or will we see more developments falter at the planning stage?

TheBusinessDesk.com in partnership with law firm CMS have brought together a panel of experts from the planning, development and public sector communities to discuss the prospects for development and levelling up in 2022 and beyond.
