The impact of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill on the planning system has yet to take shape as the Conservative Party debate policy and direction under new leadership. If, as he states, Kwasi Kwarteng intends to unleash the power of the private sector then what is the public sector role in delivering for the planning system, and what should our response be?
The bill proposes sweeping planning reforms with the introduction of national development management policies, simpler local plans, policies maps, local design plans, and a move towards local democracy with street voting and neighbourhood plans carrying more weight.
Alexandra Jones & Stuart Tym From Shoosmiths will look at the implications of LURB and recent government statements to shed some light on future changes to the planning process within local government.
Stuart has over 15 years experience of planning from both the private and public sector, with a particular expertise in enabling developments and enforcement work, as well as compulsory purchase, the negotiation of complex s.106 agreements, and judicial review.
Alex is a senior associate in the planning team at Shoosmiths. She has over eight years’ experience, acting for both private and public sector clients on all aspects of planning and environmental law, including advising local authorities, residential and commercial developers, transport and infrastructure providers, energy companies, banks and registered providers. She has particular expertise in the negotiation of complex planning and infrastructure agreements, permitted development rights, enforcement matters and providing strategic planning advice to facilitate large mixed use schemes.
