The Planner is running a one hour online webinar on the subject of the Localism Act, on 17 November from 1pm.
The Planner writes:
Are communities now able to influence local development in their area, just as the Localism Act envisioned? Or are the barriers to making it work insurmountable?
Here’s your chance to can find out what the experts think – and get involved yourself – in a special hour-long online event on Tuesday 17th November.
Over the course of an hour-long broadcast, we’ll ask:
- Is neighbourhood planning an example of ‘direct democracy’ working as intended?
- Has the sheen come off ‘localism’?
- How can conflict between local and neighbourhood plans be managed?
- What role do professional planners have to play in neighbourhood planning?
We’ll be seeking answers to these critical questions from three neighbourhood planning experts who’ll present their case live on our web site. The event will run from 1:00pm to 2:00pm with presentations from three neighbourhood planning experts. You can watch the presentations as they’re made and submit questions to the panellists for the Q&A session that rounds off the live event.
