Conference for Planning Support Staff

This unique conference has been run in the north of England since 1991 and is established as the principal event of its kind for administrative and support staff working within the planning service. A similar event has been held in London since 2002 and has been extremely well received. It is hoped that the two conferences being held during 2009 in London and Manchester will give all those interested the opportunity to attend.

The programme for each conference is fixed in detail only a short time ahead, when publicity details will be circulated. However, it is possible to reserve places on these events at any time.

Further details for the next conference in April will be available early in the New Year.

"A very interesting and informative day, it’s a shame all staff are not able to come every year!"

Deborah Smith, Canterbury City Council

"Found the conference helpful, especially being updated on new issues arising"
