We’re thrilled to be hosting Unlocking Nottingham: From Potential to Permission—a dynamic panel event designed to explore the exciting opportunities shaping Nottingham’s future! Join us on Thursday 23 January from 17:30 - 20:00, as Jenny Keen MRTPI, Sarah MacPherson MRTPI, Hannah Hamilton-Rutter and guest speakers Victoria Green and Paul Seddon discuss what landowners, developers, and their advisors, can do to take advantage of existing properties and land from small-scale conversions, adding additional storeys, to a complete redevelopment from the ground up. We will challenge the narrative that brownfield sites, conversions, and particularly historic buildings are ‘too hard’ or ‘too expensive’ to add commercial value to your portfolio. Following the development timeline from inception to delivery, we will cover the following key areas: - Demystifying design and heritage issues and opportunities - Making the most out of pre-application engagement - How the changing national and local plan context and legislation changes impact development in Nottingham Whether you're in development, design, or simply passionate about Nottingham’s future, this is your chance to be part of the conversation. https://lnkd.in/e-kYd6BE Nicki Edwards #UnlockingNottingham #UrbanGrowth #MarronsArchitecture #CityPlanning #SustainableDevelopment
