Design Council Cabe ran a series of Design in Planning workshops over the summer, to provide expert advice to local authorities on how to achieve good design within the changing planning system.
Each of the workshops explored a different aspect of design in the planning system. We considered how the planning system is changing and what impacts this could have on design of the built environment. A panel of expert speakers shared their knowledge of current planning issues, case studies of how local authorities have addressed design challenges, and examples of well-designed places. Delegates had the opportunity to discuss their experiences with each other and learn what other local authorities are doing.
