It draws from practical experience\, good practice case studies and TCPA research. \n\n\n\nIt will explore transport\, quality housing and renewable energy\, and climate adaptation to flooding and overheating risks. The course will also provide an overview of the context of planning reform and its current implications for local plan making in England.   \n\n\n\n“A wonderfully encouraging and inspiring session\, thank you very much.”   \n\n\n\n– TCPA course attendee – \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat will the training cover?   \n\n\n\nThe training will focus on the English Town & Country Planning system\, with an emphasis on the opportunities presented through plan making to address key climate change challenges at a local level.
