National Planning Summit - Keynote Brandon Lewis MP, Minister of State for Housing and Planning

LONDON - Jan. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- The National Planning Summit is back for its third year!

Taking place on 21 April 2016 at The Emirates Stadium in London, The National Planning Summitis the annual forum for planning professionals to address the latest, most pertinent issues facing the planning system today.

The Summit promises to offer an in-depth insight into how planning policies will be shaped moving forward and how they can provide opportunities for growth.

Building on the success of last year's event, we have put together a stimulating agenda for 2016, tackling only the biggest challenges facing the planning system today. The programme will help you deal with your most pressing industry issues by providing solutions, best practices and expert advice whilst exploring how the planning system can enable and accelerate growth.

Taking place almost a year after the general election, this is your chance to get fully up to speed on the government policies and gain real insights into the impact of the latest reforms on the future of planning.

The agenda for the day has been designed to ensure that you:

-  Get the latest policy updates to help you tackle challenges within strategic planning, housing, infrastructure provision, successful local plan making and development management

-  Gain new insights from policy makers, planning experts and practitioners on where the opportunities for sustainable growth through planning are NOW

-  Explore and debate the implications of the Housing and Planning Bill on affordable housing and delivering the growth agenda

Last year's sold-out Summit gathered over 200 planning professionals from both the public and private sector across the nation, to explore how the planning system enables and accelerates growth, both locally and nationally.
