🗺 With 13% of England alone designated green belt, it has huge potential to help planners meet broad policy aims. Sarah Young, Director of Planning at LUC, shares her thoughts with @ThePlanner_RTPI. ow.ly/YaeM50JUNTa
These look really helpful. Thank you for sharing!
We were commissioned by the @pas_team to research the role that LPAs can play in helping to promote and bring forward the delivery of housing-led development on #brownfield land. The first 3 (of 10) case studies are here: local.gov.uk/pas/plan-making…
An invaluable selection of talks on the #ClimateEmergency and the potential for #localaction, hosted by @bmkalc. An early

We have just returned from our annual research retreat. Lots of inspiring discussions around plans for future research and impact. Thank you to @DanniSinnett for organising and to @kebhoughton and Lindsay from @UWE_Business for joining us to talk about impact REF and bidding.

Pleased to be named as a co-developer of the NATURE Tool, led by @wsp @EcosystemsNet.
💚 nature-tool.com/
The tool will enable a step-change in how the built environment professions think about new development, enabling them to implement net-gains for the environment.

As we better understand the role the natural world can play in the built environment and how it can adapt to climate change, it's time to bring nature-based solutions to the front and centre.
