PLANNING SCHOOL 2021 | Why does it take so long?

**Bookings have now closed for this event**

If you google planning permission, you will be told that it takes 8-13 weeks to get a consent. But for some of London’s more complex schemes it can take years and sometimes decades. Why? What is the hold up and is taking our time on planning applications a good thing?

The London Society’s ‘Planning School 2021’ brings together leaders in the world of planning to discuss why delays happen.


Confirmed Speakers:

Martyn Evans, Creative Director at U+I who recently were granted planning permission for Morden Wharf after 9 years

Dr Riëtte Oosthuizen MRTPI, Partner responsible for Urban Planning at HTA Design LLP
