On behalf of RPS City Planning team and as a Board member of the RICS L&NRs Group, I am honoured to be once again chairing the national RICS Planning & Development conference taking place in October. With a huge shift in housing and planning reforms underway following a series of recent government announcements, including incoming legislation and changes to national planning policies, the need to get a comprehensive handle on the market reaction from both a public and private sector perspective is timely if we are to garner a clear view over what this means in practical terms to gear up for this much needed growth. The RICS P&D event will cover: - a view from the mayoral perspective with contributions from Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands & Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor for Planning and Regeneration for the Mayor of London; - How do we deliver transformational large scale mixed use regeneration developments at pace with senior contributors inc. Tom Goodall, Rob Heasman, James Saunders and Marianne Brook which will be skilfully chaired by Bek Seeley - A local government perspective from senior local government CEOs: Kim Wright, Tom Stannard, Martin Reeves, OCC, outgoing CEO Melbourne Barrett and Mike Kiely former Chair of POS (Planning Officers Society) 🏳️🌈 - a planning legal update from Simon Ricketts & Lord Charles Banner KC and local govt political analysis by Nick Kilby MCIPR And, what housing providers think the new reforms will do to stimulate the market and what challenges still remain to unlock delivery to support both large and SME housing providers with panel contributions from Bob Weston, Weston Homes Plc, Fiona Fletcher Smith, Mark Skilbeck and Andrew Taylor FRTPI. Full details for the event can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e3QYiQuX It will be a chance to interrogate the proposed swathe of reforms with key politicians, senior officers and industry leaders and I do hope you will join me in what will be a full day to explore how we turbo charge housing delivery to see a significant uptick in output. To whet the appetite on our take of the latest planning reform announcements, view Karen jones & Adam.

Really interesting discussion hosted by Landmark Chambers and Town Legal LLP yesterday on the first 100(ish) days of the new Government. Should we be optimistic? I took away a few key points that I think do give grounds for cautious optimism: · The significant weight that the Government is giving to growth – as evidenced by the Secretary of State decisions issued to date ·  Greater focus on higher-tier governance – regional strategies and forcing LPAs to plan for growth (local decisions focussing on how and where, but not whether) ·  A more functional relationship with the London Mayor (for now) and the prospect of a higher housing requirement in the next London Plan (as Green Belt is no longer an excuse) ·  Possible refinement and flexibility regarding the ‘golden rules’ and benchmark land value in the final version of the NPPF? If not, expect to see industrial and other uses seizing opportunities where residential doesn’t stack up.

Build-to-rent developments require careful consideration of zoning, community impact, and long-term sustainability. As this sector grows, developers must navigate complex regulatory environments to successfully implement build-to-rent projects.   Dentons Partners Jodie Wauchope, Mitchell Osborne, Special Counsel Justin K. and Senior Associate Stephanie Hendy identify what corresponding form of development is capable of being carried out consistent with the Commonwealth's proposed build-to-rent reforms and offer guidance on how to effectively manage the planning process.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gUGW3rMj   #BtR #BuildToRent #PlanningLaw #Dentons

Great summary on 'Build-to-rent' (BtR) planning considerations and comparison between the Commonwealth BtR conditions v the corresponding State Planning Controls. Fantastic work Dentons Planning Team! #Dentons #Planning #RealEstate #BuildtoRent

As Australian residential housing infill and development rises in what were once traditionally industrial areas, industry will increasingly be required to manage its operations to limit possible impacts on new communities. In this publication, #TeamSPB explore what odour is, how it's perceived and what changes to compliance companies need to prepare for!
