About this Event
The current planning system is in mid-transformation: new NPPF policy, data infrastructure, and AI tools all moving at once. Join our breakfast panel, on Wed 3 June, to hear from industry leaders what this new landscape means for site identification, land promotion and planning strategy, and how not to get left behind in 2026.
What we'll cover:
Panel 1: Policy, Data & the Changing Planning System: Where does development and land promotion really stand right now.
- The NPPF: Grey Belt, station-proximity, and viability standardisation, sharing practical implications for site pipelines and land promotion strategies
- How the public sector has moved faster than private firms on AI adoption, and what that shift means for the private property sector
- Whether we're on track for 1.5m homes — and what that means for land allocations and pipeline planning
Panel 2: Where the Edge Has Moved: what does a competitive firm look like in five years?
- What separates firms that thrive from those that don't: size, capital, capability, culture — or something else?
- Where data and AI have genuine currency in the planning process, and where they don't
- Keeping humans in the loop as workflows go digital
- What this shift means for the next generation coming into planning and land
Speakers:
- Sam Stafford, Managing Director — LPDF | Land, Planning and Development Federation
- Ed Clarke, Associate Director — Lichfields
- Mahsa Ige, London Vice Chair — RTPI | Royal Town Planning Institute
- Paul Burton, Executive Director — Hallam Land (Part of Henry Boot)
