Dr Hugh Ellis kicking off the keynote speech for the Planning Research Conference 2024 with a quote from Oscar Wilde: "A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at... Progress is the realisation of Utopias."

Compartmentalising nature part of the problem - how to bring multifunctionality in when land use planning with nature as a critical component? 🤔

[Just Neighbourhoods? @JustCLP]

Planning for nature @ #PlanningResearchConference2024.
Takeaway from the opening panel:
South Downs and New Forest National Parks success in planning for nature due to the nurturing of relationships with, raising awareness and incentivising landowners.

"A gulf appearing between housebuilders – who love the proposed new methodology for its simplicity and, inevitably, its higher numbers – and councils that are already struggling to find sites to meet their already high targets and to justify these to their local communities."

[Mark Tewdwr-Jones @MTJProf]

This is a good piece and provocation. Often neglected by those who only see planning as housing numbers, planning legally & practically is about so much more: flood defence, environmental protection, regeneration, infrastructure provision, conservation, energy, public engagement etc. It also has to deliver national agendas (growth, housing) and be led locally. And it has to work with a finite resource (land). Trade-offs are part of the course, but so is the need for a sense of what sort of places we want to have in the future

Do you believe these planning reforms will effectively "get Britain building again" and deliver 1.5 million new homes by 2029?
