Future Planning - with Dorset Council's Planning Team
There’s a lot happening in the world of planning at national and local levels at the moment. This event will help town and parish councils navigate the upcoming changes and is perfect for councillors, clerks and those involved with planning and neighbourhood planning committees.
Members of Dorset Council’s Planning Team will be in attendance to answer questions and to explain what is happening with:
- Dorset Council’s Local Plan
- Upcoming changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
- The Planning Team’s transformation programme and how it affects local councils
- Key planning developments Dorset Council is monitoring and what local councils should focus on in the coming 12-18 months
A big part of the day will be about Neighbourhood Plans – a key tool for many councils in helping to shape their communities and development. But where does all this change leave Neighbourhood Plans? Clarity will be provided by experts regardless of where a council might be in the process: those with an existing Plan, those with one in progress and those at the very beginning or even still considering if it’s the right thing to do. These three topic sessions will run at the same time meaning delegates only attend the session with information relevant to them.
Don't miss out on this important event that ensures local councils are prepared for the changes ahead and the future of planning.
NOTE: Delegates can be councillors, local council employees, non-councillors that are on Neighbourhood Plan Committees and/or your planning consultant.
IMPORTANT:
Could we ask that Clerks or someone in their team handle the registration process to make sure you get the discount of £5/delegate for 3 or more attending. Please book all your delegates at the same time, where possible, to receive the discounts which will automatically apply.
Once you have registered a short survey to help us plan the day will be sent, again for the Clerk to respond on behalf of all delegates.
Please note: the cut off time and date for bookings is 11am on Monday 24 February 2025.
