One Voice Wales and Planning Aid Wales
Joint Online Event
“Improving our Local Places – Welsh Case Studies and Planning Updates”
Date: 19 March 2026, 10:30am–1:30pm (Online: Teams)
£53 per person
We are delighted to announce that One Voice Wales and Planning Aid Wales have again teamed-up to provide Community and Town Councils with a joint event, enabling Councillors and Clerks to be at the forefront of current thinking in relation to the planning challenges and opportunities currently facing our communities and towns.
We are fortunate to welcome Penzance Town Council who will provide an insightful case study into their work on a Neighbourhood Plan for their community. We will also welcome Welsh case studies on their Place Planning approach. These case studies will improve your understanding of how the planning system can create long lasting and effective regeneration opportunities with community support.
We will also provide a range of useful planning updates including:
- Law updates (the forthcoming Planning (Wales) Bill and Infrastructure Wales Act 2024)
- Planning policy updates including advice on flooding and nutrient neutrality.
- Strategic planning updates – Strategic Development Plans in Wales and how they will impact your local area.
There will also be a session where we provide guidance to Community and Town Councils when faced with a major planning application in your community and how best to respond.
This will be a highly informative event for all with an interest in Planning, sustainability and addressing local issues. There will be an opportunity for open discussion between all delegates and speakers.
We really hope for a record level of attendance and we would both encourage every Council to take up at least one place on this remote event.
