Planning Reform, Appeals & Case Law: What’s Changing for Development in the North

Planning reform and evolving case law continue to shape how development is delivered across Greater Manchester and the wider North. Changes in policy, appeal decisions and local plan pressures are influencing viability, timelines and delivery confidence. 

This practitioner-led session explores what is changing in the planning landscape and how it is affecting live schemes. 

Focusing on practical implications rather than policy headlines, the discussion will examine emerging risks and strategies for navigating planning uncertainty. 

Designed for developers, contractors, consultants and SMEs, the session provides grounded insight into how planning decisions are shaping project delivery across the region.
