RTPI South West welcomes to you their CPD Seminar series for 2024. This is a HYBRID Seminar so you may opt to attend in-person or virtually. We hope this enables the event to be as inclusive as possible.

With support from The Planning Inspectorate, we have the event of the year. Aimed at those of you who have attempted to write an appeal, write a statement of case or prepare a proof of evidence. This seminar focusses on the do's and don’ts of appeals with a heavy emphasis on the procedural requirements, and how to make your case clearly, effectively, and concisely.
