It's not easy being green

Join us on Friday, 9 May at 10 am for an insightful session exploring the requirements to integrate green space, nature recovery and biodiversity under the revised NPPF.

Grey Belt has provided a significant opportunity to unlock green belt sites but the NPPF requires such developments to provide, or make improvements to, green spaces as part of the ‘Golden Rules’. The framework also sets out expectations for green infrastructure as part of new development.

As environmental considerations continue to shape the future of development, this webinar will cover critical topics that impact both policy and practice:

  • Paragraphs 156 and 159 of the NPPF: What is required under the ‘Golden Rules’ and how the improvement of green spaces plays a key role in the planning process.
  • Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS): Understanding their role in the future of planning and development.
  • Planning and Infrastructure Bill: What the latest reforms mean for nature recovery and environmental delivery plans.
  • Nature Appeals: Navigating the complexities and challenges in nature-related planning appeals.
  • Practical Measures: How can green infrastructure be successfully integrated into development

Join James Clewlow, Beth Gascoyne, Andy Black and Eleanor Trenfield for a thought-provoking discussion on how we can support nature recovery and invest in biodiversity, creating greener, more sustainable places for the future.

The Building Safety Act.

The Building Safety Act 2022 is one of the most far reaching pieces of real estate legislation this century. It is intended to improve building safety standards, transparency and accountability. However, interpreting this lengthy and technical piece of legislation remains a thorn in the side of all those operating in the UK’s built environment sector.

Cripps has set up a dedicated Building Safety Act (BSA) team to help guide you and ensure you understand the full implications of the law and what you need to do.
