BPF/POS Conference – NPPF – ‘Roll With It’

Join the British Property Federation and Planning Officers Society for our annual planning conference where we'll explore the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its implications for different parts of the built environment sector. 

The conference will also examine what’s on the horizon for strategic planning as well as consider whether the new Government should pursue further changes to our system of developer contributions. 

Expect engaging conversations, fresh perspectives and plenty of opportunities to network with industry peers. We’re excited to host the event in-person this year at Ashurst in London - we hope to see you there!
