Canterbury BID is delighted to invite you to a session focussing on the latest changes to planning legislation and potential changes to government policy – and how these could impact your business and the city.
Looking ahead to the future, the planning system is so relevant to how we do business in Canterbury.
On 1 September the Government brought in significant changes to the planning system in an attempt to allow greater flexibility to use class changes within town and city centres without the need for express planning permission. These changes will impact the city and surrounding area – but for better or worse?
Lee May, Partner in Commercial Property at leading Maidstone and Canterbury-based law firm Brachers, will provide us with an overview of the latest changes and provide insight as to the impact it could have on Canterbury.
Topics covered:
- Permitted Development Rights
- Changes to the Use Classes Order
- Changes to government planning policy – The White Paper
