Join our Built Environment team on 25th February in Manchester for an evening of high-level debate and insight. We are bringing together a powerhouse panel to discuss how vision-led planning provides the solution to the industry's most pressing questions, including:

  • How do we move beyond traditional planning to deliver accessible, healthy, and sustainable communities?
  • What changes are needed to help build new settlements and alleviate the housing crisis?
  • Why are longstanding methods of transport planning no longer suitable for a changing development landscape?

We will also provide a demonstration of Flint - SLR’s groundbreaking vision-led planning tool that utilises data to meet requirements of the UK's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Planning Inspectorate.
