Planning in Cambridgeshire Conference

Wednesday 15 January 2025

This event is being hosted by Landmark Chambers in partnership with Mills & Reeve and Bidwells. It is free to attend and will take place in person at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, CB5 8BL.

Overview

Industry specialists lead a comprehensive interactive appraisal of the big issues in Cambridgeshire planning at the moment - vital for all developers, promoters, landowners and professionals acting on development in the county.

The conference aims to take stock of where we are and map out the likely way ahead in what is likely to be a challenging couple of years as the Labour government introduces a new NPPF and outlines their plans to deliver their manifesto promises.

Please note this event is taking place in person only and is not being recorded. Places are limited and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
