Over the past 12 months, there have been significant changes to the planning system, and even more emphasis put into biodiversity. We have therefore secured expert industry advice from two leading organisations: Barton Willmore: a leading planning and design agency who from their 13 offices nationwide combine national influence with local knowledge to offer their clients the very best advice. Wharton Natural Infrastructure Consultants: Wharton sees trees, ecology and habitats as assets rather than development constraints. They provide the practical and innovative solutions you need to naturally increase the true value of your land or property. At the same time, keeping a balance between commercial, environmental and human needs.
This event is aimed at housing associations, developers, contractors, architects, project managers and quantity surveyors but would also be suitable for businesses who want to understand more about the planning process. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the process and the requirements that you must meet to deliver biodiversity requirements on site.
