SUMMARY:TCPA Autumn Training programme - Planning Reform Update and Training for Local Councillors 
DESCRIPTION:Session purpose:  \n\n\n\nThe updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and new National Scheme of Delegation represents a significant change to the way local plans and planning decisions will be made in England.

The webinar is essential for any councillor who is keen to get a better understanding of the English planning system or what the proposed planning reforms are likely to mean in practice.   \n\n\n\nFormat: Online\, Zoom\, 30 September 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnnual TCPA memberships are £62 for standard\, £36 for concessions and £16 for students\, click here to find out more \n\n\n\nCheck to see if you are part of a New Communities Group (NCG) or TCPA member organisation

SUMMARY:Guidance Launch: Finance and Delivery Vehicles for New Communities 
DESCRIPTION:The TCPA is relaunching its updated suite of practical guidance for delivering new Garden Cities – large scale developments that align with the TCPA’s Garden City Principles.  \n\n\n\nThis practical Guide is for local authority officers and elected members considering whether to promote a new town\, large-scale urban extension or other new Garden City\, and seeking to understand how such projects can be delivered and financed. The aim is to support the delivery of ambitious places that align with Garden City Principles\, using ‘Garden City’ as shorthand for a range of new community development types that share this ambition.  \n\n\n\nThe Guide explores the importance of scale; the role of development corporations and other local delivery vehicles; opportunities for private investment\, joint ventures and public funding and finance including new institutions such as the National Housing Bank and National Wealth Fund; and lessons from four case studies as well as many other examples of good practice.   \n\n\n\nIt sets out principles for successful delivery\, including the role of local plan policies and early intervention in land assembly\, and shows how different funding and delivery arrangements can harness place-based investment to enable and de-risk development.   \n\n\n\nThis guide has been kindly supported by Hyas Associates\, Atkins Realis and the Lady Margaret Patterson Osborn Trust.  \n\n\n\nWe will hear from local authority speakers exploring different delivery and financing models for their new communities\, including joint public private ventures\, direct delivery and master developers. It will provide essential learning to officers and members of how to best structure delivery in the current market.     \n\n\n\nImportant: This event is free for local authority officers from the TCPA New Communities group (NCG)\, with paid tickets also available. You can check if your authority is a member here: TCPA New Communities Group.  \n\n\n\nIf your authority is interested in becoming a member\, please get in touch with Lachlan Anderson-Frank: lachlan.anderson-frank@tcpa.org.uk.  \n\n\n\nThe TCPA’s New Communities Group offers support for local authorities delivering large scale housing growth through workshops\, webinars and policy briefings\, and members can access archive recordings of past events.     \n\n\n\nThis webinar is part of the TCPA New Communities Group programme of events.

SUMMARY:TCPA Annual Conference 2026 Planning: A Matter of Life and Death
DESCRIPTION:Regent’s University London\, Inner Circle\, Regent’s Park\, London\, NW1 4NS \n\n\n\nPlanning increasingly determines our resilience in the face of climate change and its impacts on our health. \n\n\n\nThe new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets the direction of a whole new generation of local and strategic plans. Key changes in the publication draft provide hooks for ambitious communities\, councils and their development partners to plan for climate resilient and healthy places. \n\n\n\nWith excess deaths from heat waves\, air pollution and the risk of flooding and coastal erosion to our towns and cities increasing\, the planning system’s ability to adapt places to extreme weather conditions is an urgent challenge. \n\n\n\nJoin us to explore why planning is truly a matter of life and death\, and to find out what practical solutions are available using the new NPPF and beyond. \n\n\n\nThe TCPA Annual Conference 2026 will bring together public and private sector planners\, policy makers\, public health professionals\, academics and practitioners to explore the vital role planning has in helping to create healthier\, more resilient communities. \n\n\n\nProgramme to be confirmed soon \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions please email Jack.Boreham@tcpa.org.uk \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnnual TCPA memberships are £62 for standard\, £36 for concessions and £16 for students\, click here to find out more \n\n\n\nCheck to see if you are part of a New Communities Group (NCG) or TCPA member organisation

SUMMARY:The new NPPF: opportunities/implications for climate mitigation? 
DESCRIPTION:Session purpose:  \n\n\n\nThe updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) represents a significant change to the way local plans and planning decisions will be made in England. One of the most important functions of the planning system is to enable and accelerate action to reduce the carbon emissions from the built environment.

SUMMARY:TCPA Autumn Training programme - General planning update for parish and town councils
DESCRIPTION:Session purpose:  \n\n\n\nThe TCPA recognise the importance of Parish and Town Councils in giving a voice to people on planning issues particularly through the preparation of neighbourhood plans.   This is becoming even more important as local Government reorganisation is set to make planning authorities larger and more distance from the people they serve.  \n\n\n\nThe updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) represents a significant change to the way local plans and planning decisions will be made in England.   \n\n\n\nThe training will give a general introduction to planning and provide and give an update on the planning system in the context of the updated NPPF.  \n\n\n\nThe training will be suitable for parish councillors and councils interested or working in planning.  \n\n\n\nWho is this training for?  \n\n\n\nThis session is targeted at parish council members that are involved in planning and want to learn more about planning policy\, implementation and impact.   \n\n\n\nFormat: Online\, Zoom\, December 9th 1:30pm-2:30pm
