The 2010 Planning Convention: Planning: Shaping the Future
Monday 28 June 2010
Study Tours/Workshop
Tour 1 – Achieving better development in the City of London, 1.30pm
The tour will start by viewing the model of the City in the Marketing Suite with a presentation by Peter Wynne Rees, the City Planning Officer. The walking tour from 2.30-3.30pm will split into two groups. One will look at “Enhancing our spaces” and the other will look at “Achieving better developments”.
This event will provide an insight into the way the cityscape of the Square Mile is changing and also an appreciation of the planning approach that has led to the creation of some of London’s most iconic landmarks such as 30 St Mary Axe and Lloyds of London, together with the conservation of its historic areas and enhancements to the street scene.
(Maximum – 25 places)
Tour 2 – London Olympic Site, 3.30pm
This coach tour will allow delegates to view all the main venues
for the games at the Olympics Park site as well the progress on the
Stratford City development, including the Westfield shopping centre
and the 11 residential blocks and school campus being built north
of the Channel Tunnel Rail link which will be used temporarily
during the Games as the Athletes Village. The ODA will
provide an update on the Games time planning permissions as well as
the progress on the Legacy proposals for all the areas which will
be used for temporary spectator facilities during the Games.
(If access to the Aquatics Centre viewing platform is possible
then this part of the tour will not be suitable for delegates with
restricted mobility).
(Maximum – 25 places)
Workshop - Good Practice Guide – Public Engagement in Development Projects, 3.30pm
To co-incide with the launch by Planning Aid England and
Planning Aid for London of
their Good Practice Guide on Public Engagement in Development
Projects, will be
delivering a workshop session which aims to bring alive some of the
approaches to
consultation and case studies profiled in the guide. Whilst there
are a number of guides
which provide advice on consultation in relation to the development
of policy, there is
considerably less practical guidance or advice for those seeking to
capture the benefits
of effective and inclusive engagement in the shaping of development
projects. The Good
Practice Guide is also intended to help those seeking a benchmark
against which
developers, scheme promoters, local authorities, stakeholders,
communities and others
can assess community engagement.
(Maximum – 25 places)
As places are limited, study tours must be booked when booking your place at the convention – see booking form for details.
