The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill
Tuesday 28th October 2003
at 222 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8XF

With further delays in the passage of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill, debate continues about how affective the proposed changes to the planning system will be.  Will it simplify and speed up the planning process and what will it look like when it is finally passed?  

The RTPI London Branch and SJ Berwin are holding a seminar on Tuesday 28 October to debate these issues.  The objective is to bring together a wide ranging audience from the public and private sectors, including chief planning officers and developers, to share perspectives and views on the Planning Bill.  We do hope you or a colleague will be able to attend.
