SUMMARY:New Towns for Today and Tomorrow - a conference of the APPG on New Towns
DESCRIPTION:The New Towns programme remains the most ambitious urbanism initiative ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. The programme sought to provide jobs and affordable homes in healthy\, balanced and thriving communities. The 32 New Towns delivered through the New Towns Act today provide homes for over 2.8 million people.  \n\n\n\nThey represent some of the fastest growing and most successful\, but also some of the most deprived communities in the UK. Do key issues of housing\, green infrastructure\, stewardship\, public art and land ownership mean their growth and renewal could put New Towns back at the heart of exemplar development?  \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, cross-party interest in the role of New Towns in tackling the housing crisis continues to be high on the political agenda. What transferable lessons can we learn from the New Towns programme to inform the creation of a new generation of ambitious places? \n\n\n\nThis ‘in-person’ conference will bring together people from across the UK to explore the opportunities for the growth and renewal of our existing new towns. It will also explore transferable lessons for the creation of new communities today. \n\n\n\nThe event is from to attend and is taking place at the Torrance Hotel\, East Kilbride\, Glasgow\, G74 4LN. Lunch is provided\, booking is essential as space is limited.   \n\n\n\nOrganised by the TCPA on behalf of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for New Towns and in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council. \n\n\n\nTCPA Secretariat of the APPG on New Towns is supported by: \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                                        	\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda (may be subject to change)\n\n\n\n9:00am: Coffee and registration \n\n\n\n9:30am: Welcome and Introductions  \n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Introductions from the Conference Chair – Dr Lisa Cameron MP\, Chair of the APPG on New Towns \n\n\n\nWelcome from South Lanarkshire Council – Council Leader Joe Fagan \n\n\n\n\n9:45am: The New Towns – Rise\, Fall and Rebirth \n\n\n\n\nKaty Lock\, Director of Communities\, Town & Country Planning Association \n\n\n\n\n10:00am: Session One: New Towns – Growth and Renewal \n\n\n\n\nThe View from Warrington – John Laverick\, CEO of Warrington & Co.

SUMMARY:Hope for the future: why caring for green infrastructure is vital for thriving people and places 
DESCRIPTION:Public spaces that are well cared for\, with mature trees and new planting\, create a much-needed sense of hope\, a feeling that someone cares and that this place will get better as time goes by. Cared-for parks\, green spaces and trees add to people’s sense of wellbeing – and generate significant economic value. Why\, then\, is the UK so bad at maintaining places and\, in particular\, green infrastructure? How can the UK do better? What new ways are there to pay for the upkeep of green infrastructure? What tools and resources can help get it right?  \n\n\n\nOrganised by the TCPA on behalf of the Green Infrastructure Partnership.   \n\n\n\nSupported by NatureScot\, Greenbelt and the Lady Margaret Paterson Osborn Trust.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst session: 9.30-11.00am: Does anybody care about this place?  \n\n\n\nChair: Julia Thrift\, Director of Healthier Place-making\, TCPA  \n\n\n\nKeynote speech: Lord Heseltine – a personal reflection on the importance of stewardship  \n\n\n\n\nFrancesca Osowska OBE\, Chief Executive Officer\, NatureScot: ‘Sharing the journey of a nature-rich future for all‘\n\n\n\nProf Catharine Ward Thompson\, Edinburgh College of Art: Title ‘Why should we care about green space and health?’\n\n\n\n\nSecond session: 11.30am-1.00pm: Paying for maintenance: can investing in stewardship lead to long-term value generation?   \n\n\n\nChair: Celia Davis\, Policy and Project Manager\, TCPA  \n\n\n\n\nRobin Waddell\, Development Director\, Greenbelt: ‘Green Infrastructure Stewardship and Sustainable Income Steams.’\n\n\n\nCharlotte Glazier\, Programme Manager\, Islington Council and Ludo Pittie\, Director\, WSP: ‘Can private finance fund public green space?

SUMMARY:Spring conference: Creating healthy active environments - moving from rhetoric to reality?
DESCRIPTION:The built and natural environments have profound impacts on people’s health\, wellbeing and life chances. We know\, for example\, that substandard housing increases the likelihood of respiratory\, cardiovascular and communicable diseases\, as well as mortality. Poor-quality housing is associated with poor mental health\, and can cause stress\, depression\, and anxiety. Our neighbourhoods are also crucially important to our mental and physical wellbeing. Those which discourage walking and have poor cycling infrastructure can have negative impacts on residents’ mental wellbeing and can increase the risk of type-2 diabetes\, cardiovascular diseases\, and musculoskeletal conditions. \n\n\n\nThese links have been known for a long time\, and yet too often we are seeing homes and places that undermine people’s health and wellbeing rather than help improve it. Nowhere has this been demonstrated more clearly than in Health Equity in England: the Marmot Review 10 Years On\, which showed that places matter dramatically to life expectancy. \n\n\n\nThis conference will focus on what people and places can and are doing to reunite planning and health in the hope of inspiring even greater ambition and action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote address: Creating more active places to boost the health of the nation\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n\nChris Boardman\n\n\n\nNational Active Travel Commissioner for England and Chair of Sport England \n\n\n            \n            \n                            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:30Welcome and introduction from the chairChair: Fiona Howie\, Chief Executive\, Town and Country Planning Association10:35Keynote address: Creating more active places to boost the health of the nationChris Boardman\, National Active Travel Commissioner for England and Chair of Sport England10:55Q&A11:05Supporting practical action:• Active Design 3Robert Holt\, Sports England • Building for a healthy lifeAmy Burbidge\, Head of Design and Master Development\, Homes England • Tackling health inequalities – The role of the Place and Wellbeing Outcomes and the Place Standard ToolIrene Beautyman\, Place & Wellbeing Partnership Lead at the Improvement Service & Public Health Scotland12:05Facilitated discussion and audience Q&A12:30Break for Lunch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:15Welcome back and introduction to the afternoon session from the chairChair: Julia Thrift\, Director of Healthier Place-making\, TCPA13:20The Sovereign ‘Homes and Place Standard‘Emma Wilson\, Head of Development Policy\, Strategy and Performance at Sovereign Housing Association 13:35Q&A13:45Making it happen – the challenges and opportunities and myths and realities• East Suffolk Cycling and Walking Strategy – Jason Beck\, Planner (Policy and Delivery)\, East Suffolk Council • Lambeth Kerbside Strategy – Simon Phillips\, Assistant Director for Sustainable Development and Climate Change Response\, Sustainable Growth and Opportunity Directorate at London Borough of Lambeth• Belfast Healthy Cities – Aranvir Singh Gawera\, Programme Officer\, Belfast Healthy Cities14:30Facilitated discussion and audience Q&A15:00Close\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis conference is supported by Sport England \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Elliot Manches\, from the Centre for Ageing Better resource library

SUMMARY:TCPA Annual Conference 2022: Unpicking ‘levelling up’: what does it mean for place-making?
DESCRIPTION:The Westminster Government published the Levelling Up White Paper in February 2022\, arguing that levelling up is a ‘moral\, social and economic programme for the whole of government’. The White Paper set out policy ‘missions’\, which will require commitment and collaboration. The reform of the English planning system is set to be taken forward in the context of delivering this agenda\, against a backdrop of unexpected political and economic instability. \n\n\n\nThis conference will consider what levelling up means for place-making and place-shaping; whether the proposed interventions are the right ones; and what action at national and local levels will be needed to achieve the missions regarding improving people’s health and wellbeing and increasing people’s pride in place. We will hear from a wide range of perspectives including from government\, the private sector and local authorities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: Levelling up – what does it mean?\n\n\n\nThis session will provide an overview and update of levelling up agenda; consider whether there are potential gaps; and whether further interventions might be required. \n\n\n\n10:00Registration and networkingTea and coffee available10:30Welcome and introduction from the chairAndrew Pritchard\, Chair\, TCPA10:35Overview of the Levelling Up agenda and ongoing planning reformsJoanna Averley\, Chief Planner\, Department of Levelling Up Housing & Communities10:50Q&A11:00A view on planning reform from the TCPAHugh Ellis\, Policy Director\, TCPA11:10Q&A11:20Delivering levelling up in practice – Stoke on TrentCllr Abi Brown\, Leader\, Stoke City Council11:35Delivering levelling up in practice – ThamesmeadJohn Lewis\, Executive Director Thamesmead\, Peabody11:50Q&A and Discussion12:15Lunch and networking\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Pride in place\n\n\n\nThis session will focus on the levelling up mission around ‘pride in place’\, which seeks to secure an increase in measures such as people’s satisfaction with their town centre and engagement in local culture and community. The mission aims to secure improvements in every area of the UK\, with the gap between top performing and other areas closing. The session will consider what is already happening to engage people at the local level and what could further help achieve progress towards this mission. \n\n\n\n13:15Welcome back from the chairCatriona Riddell\, Vice Chair\, TCPA13:20Panel: Pride in place – what does it mean and how do we achieve the mission?• Indy Johar\, Executive Director\, Dark Matter Labs• Jonathan Owen\, National Association of Local Councils• Sarah Scannell\, Assistant Director Planning\, Birmingham City Council14:05Engaging communities in place-makingNicola Rochfort\, Senior Community Engagement Manager\, Grosvenor 14:20Q&A14:30Tea\, coffee and networking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 3: Health and well-being\n\n\n\nThis third and final session of the day will draw on the two health and wellbeing missions\, which seek to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy and improve wellbeing in every area of the UK. It will consider the importance of place in achieving those aspirations and explore what is already being done\, and what more needs to be done to secure improvements. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n15:00Welcome from the ChairAndrew Pritchard\, Chair\, TCPA15:05Why places matter to healthProfessor Chris Whitty\, Chief Medical Officer for England15:15Responses:• Trina Lynskey\, Chair of Deptford Folk parks group • Lucy Carraz\, Government Sector Lead – AECOM Buildings + Places\, UK & Ireland• Lourdes Madigasekera-Elliott\, Public Health Strategic Lead: Creating Healthy Places\, Public Health East Sussex15:35Q&A15:55Closing remarks16:00Close\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe TCPA is grateful to Peabody\, Grosvenor and AECOM for their support of this event. \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                                                \n                    \n                \n                                                \n                    \n                \n                                                \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto by Nathan J Hilton

SUMMARY:TCPA Spring Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Heart of the Matter: the critical role of long-term stewardship in placemaking \n\n\n\n\n\nThe issue of long-term stewardship in new and renewed communities\, at all scales\, is at the heart of creating successful places that will stand the test of time. Even the most beautifully designed places with high environmental build standards will fail if arrangements are not made for their management on behalf of the community\, in perpetuity.  A core foundation of the Garden City Principles referenced in the National Planning Policy Framework\, the issue of long-term stewardship continues to gain momentum in policy and practice; it is integral to Homes England’s ‘Garden Community Qualities’\, and stewardship requirements are embedded in the ‘lifespan’ aspect of the Government’s new model design code. \n\n\n\nThe TCPA’s Heart of the Matter project has drawn together emerging lessons from places tackling the stewardship challenge on large sites\, highlighting challenges and opportunities around the alignment of policy\, finance\, public participation and governance. In this fast-moving policy environment lessons continue to emerge as places deal with the issue on their sites. \n\n\n\nThis conference will provide a forum for practical learning and knowledge exchange on long-term stewardship in new and renewed communities. It will draw on the latest learning from long-established and recently created stewardship organisations\, with insight from places implementing new models at a range of scales\, and explore some of the latest tools and technical detail to assist those tackling the stewardship challenge today. \n\n\n\nDraft Agenda:\n\n\n\nSession 1: Why is Stewardship so important?10:00REGISTRATION AND NETWORKINGTea and coffee available11:00WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIRMary Parsons\, TCPA Chair11:05GOVERNMENT POLICY ON STEWARDSHIPThe Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP\, Minister for Housing (invited)11:20Q&A11:30THE HEART OF THE MATTER: THE CRITICAL ROLE OF LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP IN PLACEMAKINGKaty Lock\, Director\, Communities & Project Delivery (FJ Osborn Fellow)\, TCPA11:45LEARNING FROM THE PAST\, INFORMING THE PRESENTPete Richmond\, Chief Executive\, Bournville Village Trust 12:00Q&A12:15LUNCH AND NETWORKING\n\n\n\nSession 2: Case Studies: Stewardship in action13:15PANEL DISCUSSION AND Q&ADavid Ames\, Executive Director – Stewardship and Development\, Letchworth Garden City Heritage FoundationVictoria Miles\, Chief Executive\, Northamptonshire Community Foundation (invited)Andrew Bibby\, Trustee/Secretary\, Calder Valley Community Land Trust 14:30TEA\, COFFEE AND NETWORKING\n\n\n\nSession 3: Making it happen15:00STEWARDSHIP – THE LEGAL CONSIDERATIONSChristine de Ferrars Green\, Partner\, Mills & Reeve LLP (invited)15:15FINANCIAL IMPLICATION OF DIFFERENT STEWARDSHIP MODELSTom Dobson\, Board Director\, Quod15:30Q&A15:55CONCLUSIONS FROM THE CHAIRMary Parsons\, TCPA Chair16:00CLOSE

SUMMARY:TCPA Annual Conference: Beyond beauty: Building hope for the future
DESCRIPTION:In the context of ongoing uncertainty about next steps with the Westminster Government’s proposed radical reform of the planning system\, and following COP26\, the TCPA’s Annual Conference will consider what we need the planning system to deliver for the future\, and whether the proposed reforms will help achieve outcomes which are better for people’s health\, are democratic and will also help deliver the country’s carbon commitments.  \n\n\n\nThe TCPA has long believed the planning system can be transformational for people\, communities and the environment. It does need to be reformed and we need to get it right. But this conference will also be an opportunity to consider other changes\, outside of the statutory planning system\, that might be needed if we are to deliver places in which everyone can thrive\, including through considering examples from the devolved nations.   \n\n\n\nAgenda:\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: The politics of hope: what we need the planning system to deliver for people\, places and the environment\n10:30WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR\n  \nMary Parsons\, Chair\, TCPA \n10:35MAKING PLACES AND PLANNING DELIVER FOR CLIMATE\n  \nLord Deben\, Chairman of the Committee on Climate Change \n10:50Q&A11:00PANEL DISCUSSION: HOW DO WE MAKE SURE PLACES DELIVER FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT?\n  \n\nLindsey Richards\, Head of Planning\, Homes England\nAndrew Taylor\, Group Planning Director\, Countryside Properties\nSarah Wilson\, Senior Design & Landscape Officer\, Leeds City Council\nRyan Walker\, The RTPI Young Planner of the Year for 2021\n\n11:30MAKING PLACES DELIVER FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS     \n  \nSophie Howe\, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales   \n11:40HOW THE PLANNING SYSTEM CAN DELIVER FOR PEOPLE\, PLACES AND THE ENVIRONMENT\n  \nHugh Ellis\, Director of Policy\, TCPA \n11:50Q&A12:00 – 13:00BREAK\n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Opportunities and barriers to transformational change\n13:00WELCOME BACK \n  \nMary Parsons\, Chair\, TCPA \n13:05\n  \n  \nPLANNING FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET: QUIETLY REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS FROM PRACTICE\n  \nFrazer Osment\, Chair\, LDA Design \n13:15MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT – WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE \n  \nDinah Bornat RIBA\, Mayor of London Design Advocate; Director\, ZCD Architects \n13:25Q&A13:40CRANBROOK: THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF CREATING A NEW PLACE \n  \nKenji Shermer\, Urban Designer\, East Devon District Council  \n13:50LEA BRIDGE AREA FRAMEWORK: PUTTING 15 MINUTE NEIGHBOURHOOD PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE\n  \nErin Byrne\, Head of Area Regeneration\, London Borough of Waltham Forest \n  \n  \n14:00Q&A14:20SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS\n  \nMary Parsons\, Chair\, TCPA \n14:30CLOSE\n\n\n\nThe conference is essential for councillors\, developers\, consultants\, business leaders\, senior council officers\, community groups\, architects and designers\, and anyone who is interested in the future prosperity of England.   \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to LDA Design for their support of this event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrices: £50+vat for TCPA Individual Concessionary Members (retired\, unemployed and students); £75+vat for TCPA/NCG Members; £150+vat for non-members; FREE for the first 30 TCPA Student Members\, £20+vat thereafter. \n\n\n\nPlease note this webinar will be broadcast using Zoom software.
