12 August 2008 - BRE, Garston, Watford
In these exciting yet uncertain times there is a real need for the development industry to work in partnership together on the delivery of sustainable developments. Find out how BREEAM and its partners plan to provide a clear, consistent and transparent road map that links the planning and building stages and assists you in the creation of a sustainable community on your next project. This BRE Global workshop unpacks the real issues for both developers and local authorities when attempting to deliver a new sustainable community through the UK planning system. It will provide attendees with an insight into how local authorities and developers are dealing with national, regional and local policy requirements, and highlight the development of BREEAM Communities, a certification scheme for planning. Come and join us on the journey and ensure that you have an opportunity to contribute input into the creation of a sustainability assessment framework for the built environment.
FREE copies of the report 'Sustainability through Planning' (retail price £35.00) will be given to all delegates that attend.
