LEADING property professionals will join Government ministers next month to discuss the new ‘localism’ agenda at the inaugural Midlands Planning Conference.
Organised by the Birmingham offices of law firm No5 Chambers and property consultants King Sturge, the conference will hear from notable speakers such planning minister Bob Neill MP, head of planning at the Home Builders Federation Andrew Whittaker, Birmingham architect Glenn Howells and former London mayor Ken Livingstone.
Elle Cass, conference speaker and planning partner at King Sturge, said: “Clearly the new Decentralisation and Localism Bill is a key issue on the lips of most planning professionals both in the public and private sector, fuelled by the uncertainty of what ‘localism’ means for the industry.
“By January, we hope to have more clarity on the situation as the content of the bill is revealed and so the conference will hope to provoke discussion and positive direction on how we can all move forward.”
In addition to topical talks, the event will include several interactive sessions and a networking charity dinner.
The conference takes place on January 20 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham. For details visit No5.com/seminars.
