The Planning Department recently relaunched the Agents Forum, with the first meeting held on 21 July.

This was an in-person event attended by a wide range of developers and agents who regularly submitted applications to the Local Planning Authority (LPA).

The forum provided a platform for discussing key planning topics and sharing updates on important areas, including:

  • The Local Plan

  • Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106

  • Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

  • Scheme of Delegation

  • Planning Services Peer Review

  • Pre-Application Process

  • No Amendments Policy

Attendees also had the opportunity to meet members of the Planning Department, ask questions, and take part in a networking session.

A feedback survey has been sent out to attendees and a further update will be provided on this page in due course.
