Event Description
Securing consent is a major milestone for every major infrastructure promoter. As the number of projects grows, more town planners are gaining experience in this field. The scale, the timescales, the budgets, the impacts, can combine to make getting involved for the first time daunting. In this seminar, we will share experiences of dealing with major infrastructure project development and applications. Our goal, to shine the light on the value town planners add to laying the infrastructure foundations for sustainable growth.
