CPD for in-house lawyers – Planning reform
Unpicking the Scottish Government’s proposed planning reforms
In January 2017, the Scottish Government launched a new planning consultation, Places, People and Planning: A consultation of the future of the Scottish Planning System, following their announcement of a root and branch review of the Scottish planning system in 2015.
During this one hour seminar, Elaine Farquharson-Black, head of Burness Paull’s planning division and accredited specialist in planning law, will explore the consultation proposals which are split across four themes:
- plans for the future
- people and the system
- delivery of new homes
- strong leadership and smart resourcing.
| Why should I attend?
By attending, you’ll develop your understanding of:
- what the proposals mean for those involved in development in the private and public sectors
- whether the changes will achieve the Government’s stated aims
- how your organisation might respond to the consultation

Whether you’re working in the public or private sector, for a local authority, a public body, a house-builder or a commercial enterprise, this event will give you the opportunity to understand the impact of the consultation on your organisation.
