✅ The government has made clear the need to scale up #offshorewind development to deliver at least an additional 12GW to meet #CleanPower2030 targets. This commitment is reflected in the government's ongoing CfD #consultation and recent announcement of cooperation with the Irish government to boost offshore wind in the Celtic Sea. 💡 In this fast-paced environment discussions on #infrastructureplanning for offshore wind is timely, and we are pleased to be attending #OffshoreWind25. It promises to be another hugely successful event by Waterfront Conference Company. ⏩ ✳️ If you are attending, please reach out to Paul Rogers, who would be pleased to meet you there. #renewables #windpower

We love this footage from Toyota (GB) plc's new Media Experience Centre! tor&co assisted in gaining permission for the project, which has extensive sustainability credentials and is water neutral using state of the art water recycling equipment including automatically recycling water used for the washing of vehicles. Operated by MSL Global Ltd, the facility stores, maintains, and prepares vehicles for the Toyota and Lexus brands ready for delivery to UK media. #planning #development #sustainability https://lnkd.in/e-BBqMw4

✅ A really worthwhile first day at #NSIPs25 for tor&co, full of insights and experiences across sectors and organisations about #infrastructureplanning Given the government's commitment to determining 150 #NSIPs in this Parliament. The mood is generally positive, though issues remain with the #consenting process which could slow delivery. ⏩ A few takeaways and observations: ☀️ There is plenty to come this year with the 10-year #infrastructure strategy, the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, the establishment of NISTA in April, and the Industrial Strategy all imminent. 🚰 The Planning Inspectorate are committed to improvements, including more customer focus and better resource management through earlier assignment and prioritisation. 🚄 There is still a benefit to long-term policies and regional and #spatialplanning for infrastructure, both to encourage investment and maximise efficiencies in connecting clustered projects. 🛳️ The Working Paper might not go far enough in solving the most prevalent issues in #infrastructuredelivery, such as proportionality in consultation and documentation. ✈️ There is a huge value in early #engagement with PINS, local authorities and #communities, to as wide an extent as possible. Many thanks to Waterfront Conference Company

🔆 With our long presence in these sectors, tor&co is looking forward to attending the #Industrial and #Logistics Conference tomorrow. ✅ With the government's #Invest2035 industrial strategy and policy changes which give new recognition to the importance of logistics, there is no better time to be discussing what this means for the future. ⏩ Catch up with our Will Charlton and Andrew Elliott MRTPI at the event. #IandLConf #planning #development Property Week

There's no dull moment in any area of #planning at the moment, and #infrastructureplanning is no exception.

Please do drop James a line through LinkedIn or the event app. #development #growth #NSIP

We are very pleased to have worked with Black Box Planning in providing #heritage input to this #PlanningAppeal, the success of which can now allow delivery of much-needed #selfbuild / #custombuild homes and #affordablehousing to the village.

🚨 Planning Approval Secured!  I’m delighted to announce a successful planning approval on behalf of Kingsbridge for their highly sustainable warehouse and manufacturing scheme on the former Siemens site in Poole. In just 20 minutes, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council’s planning committee unanimously approved the application—a clear testament to the excellent collaboration between the project team and the officers at BCP Council over the past 9 months. The new development includes the state-of-the-art 106,000 sq ft manufacturing and office facility for local engineering firm IMI, safeguarding 240 highly skilled engineering jobs, retaining these skills on the South Coast. A total of ten modern commercial buildings will be built as part of the permission.  This is a big win for Kingsbridge and the BCP Council area! tor&co were pleased to assist with providing planning advice and managing the planning application process, delivering an effective communications strategy and providing heritage expertise.  https://lnkd.in/gU_-WpQ5 #logsitics #industrial #development #UKeconomy #employment #UKjobs #BCP #planning Image courtesy of HNW Architects

First grey belt success for tor&co On behalf of clients Gleeson Land, tor&co have secured their first ‘grey belt’ resolution to grant planning permission under the new NPPF rules, which came into effect last December. The highly sustainable grey belt scheme in Billericay was approved this week by Basildon Council, subject to legal agreement at Committee. The scheme will deliver up to 250 high quality homes with 50% being affordable including a mix of Affordable, Social rented and Shared Ownership dwellings as well as First Homes. The landscape-led approach to the scheme will create 7.8ha of open space, play facilities and walking routes as well as a predicted 26% biodiversity net gain. This outcome follows extensive pre-application discussions with council officers and engagement with the local design review panel. The team at tor&co provided planning and heritage advice and are delighted to be part of this successful outcome.
