Planning and development in spotlight at CLA hosts events
The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) responsible for the Midlands region has hosted two Planning and Development Seminars.
Attendees were tempted out of the inclement weather and enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the planning process on both a small and large scale, and ask questions specific to their needs.
The seminars were aimed at land and business owners looking for guidance on the intricacies of the planning process.
The events were chaired by a CLA panel which included planning expert and Senior Policy Adviser, Shannon Fuller and Midlands Rural Surveyor, John Greenshields.
Both took turns presenting on various aspects of planning covering all from policy to permitted development, advising on potential pitfalls to look out for.
Mr Greenshields said: “It was great to get out in front of members and discuss the recent updates in planning policy.
“We were challenged by some interesting questions relating to specific planning applications members are working on, there were certainly themes coming to the surface.”
