Booking is now open for a planning training session with BATPC, delivered remotely by Lion Planning, as follows:
- Planning Nuts and Bolts – Wednesday 24th September, 7pm
This is an introductory training session for Parish/Town councillors and officers covering the basic principles of planning including policy, applications, appeals and enforcement.
The session will also include tips on increasing the effectiveness of the responses that Parish and Town Councils send through to local planning authorities and the opportunity to ask questions of the trainer. Attendance at this course is recommended prior to attendance at Lion Planning’s dedicated course on issuing effective responses to planning applications, another session of which will be scheduled for later in the autumn.
Places are available to councillors and officers of BATPC member councils only, at a cost of £35 per place.
This is a live, remote training session delivered online by planning expert Lance Wiggins, an experienced planning consultant who has worked for local councils, a volume house builder and a planning consultancy.
As an interactive session at which the trainer will welcome questions, at the trainer’s request places are limited and bookings are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bookings can be made by contacting Tracy Moorhouse at admin@batpc.co.uk to reserve places.
