Welcome

The Young Planners' Network was set up by the RTPI to provide a focus for all planning students, RTPI Student members and younger corporate members (under the age of 35) throughout the UK and Ireland. 

We are intending to hold events throughout 2013 and therefore if you consider that you may be able to help organise an event in your part of the region, or you may have views as to how the South West could become more active then please do not hesitate to contact ypsouthwest@gmail.com

Development Consent Orders and the Planning Act 2008 - 21st March 2013

Our last post mentioned our plans to hold an event looking at Development Consent Orders and the Planning Act 2008. We're very close to being able to provide more details on this but for now we can confirm that it will be on 21st March in Central Bristol.

We've been very fortunate to arrange for speakers from The Planning Inspectorate, EDF Energy and Atkins. The timing is great, falling a few days after the decision is due from Government about whether EDF will be granted consent to build Hinkley C, the UKs first new nuclear build in a number of years. We hope also to have a lawyer present to give their thoughts too. This

More details will follow but for now please continue to follow and share this blog address, watch facebook and follow us on Twitter.
