Thursday 21st September

How can we masterplan for large scale developments when there is no strategic joined up thinking?

Master planning provides the opportunity for stakeholders involved in the regeneration of an area to consider the physical, environmental and social impact of a project at a strategic level. However, trying to coordinate the number of different stakeholders, public bodies and statutory consultees can prove challenging, particularly when there are conflicting or overlapping projects all trying for priority status.
 
Come and join us for our first RCN breakfast event of 2017/18 as we look to discuss:
 
  • What makes a good masterplan?
  • How do we successfully integrate various stakeholder inputs at the appropriate time?
  • How do we balance advice on policy against the aspiration of the Client in our proposals?
  • What is it that we need from local and regional planners at the master planning stage?
  • Does the approach to master planning change when working for a developer as opposed to a public body?
  • How do you deal with conflicting stakeholder priorities or master plans for the same site?
