Understanding planning is central to the creation and maintenance of good places. As a result, the local authority planning department contributes to much of the work of the organisation, including housing, conservation, economic development, recreation and sport, tourism, transportation, and community development.
Given this important role and recent changes in legislation, the HCA Academy and (BURA) have created a two-day programme that helps people from a non-planning background to understand planning specifically the English planning system with a view to improving the outcomes delivered by local authorities.
“Attending this course is one of the ways that local authority managers can gain some understanding around how planning can help to deliver on a whole range of community strategy objectives”
Alice Lester, Planning Delivery & Performance, Communities & Local Government
The course can also be commissioned to run in-house. Kirklees Council have benefited from this:
“We involved colleagues from across the council including landscape architects, highways engineers and housing professionals and the course was very well received. I am delighted it went so well – this is a much needed course that I think will be of value to all non-planners driving regeneration schemes throughout the country”
Greg Jennings, Assistant Director, Regeneration Development Service, Kirklees Council
