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?

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 URL:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/event/creating-healthy-active-environments-moving-from-rhetoric-to-reality/ LOCATION:Online – Zoom\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Website-Heroes-new-size-22.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230322T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230322T113000 DTSTAMP:20260517T103212 CREATED:20230130T124119Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230320T121825Z UID:10000091-1679479200-1679484600@www.tcpa.org.uk SUMMARY:New Communities Group webinar: Delivering climate resilient new communities DESCRIPTION:New Garden Cities and large-scale developments must be places that address climate change mitigation and adaptation. They must have a long-term vision to deal with climate change impacts within a local democratic context\, allowing communities to participate in forming and implementing solutions to the problems that we face. Climate adaptation must be a foundational principle in how we plan for new growth. \n\n\n\nDrawing upon the learnings from Garden City Standards Practical Guide 14: Building Climate Resilient New Communities\, this New Communities Group webinar will explore the overarching requirements of a successful adaptation strategy\, provide an overview of recommendations on how master planning can be carried out to ensure climate change adaptation\, as well as recommendations on delivery. \n\n\n\nThis session will be essential for councillors\, developers\, consultants\, business leaders\, council officers\, community groups\, architects and designers\, students and anyone who is interested in the creation of climate resilient new communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is part of the TCPA New Communities Group programme of events. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re grateful to Arcadis for their support of this event:\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda:\n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introduction from the ChairSandra Fryer\, TCPA Trustee10:05Building Climate Resilient New CommunitiesCelia Davis\, Projects & Policy Manager (Climate)\, TCPA10:20Linking resilience and adaptation to nature recoveryJim Davies\, Senior Advisor (Local Nature Recovery Strategies)\, Environment Agency10:30Climate resilient masterplanningArcadis10:40Q&ALocal authority case studies:10:55Essex County Council: Essex Climate CommissionMatthew Thomas\, Growth and Development Manager\, Essex County Council11:05East Devon District Council: District heating strategyThea Billeter\, Cranbrook New Community Manager\, East Devon District Council11:15Q&A11:30Close\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\nThis event is free to New Communities Group members – check if your local authority is a member here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTCPA Members get discounted tickets – explore membership options here.

This webinar – the latest in a series of TCPA webinars about 20-minute neighbourhoods – will explore how better connections across and between neighbourhoods can be achieved in different types of places\, including traditional settlements that were designed for walking but have become car-dominated\, and post-war developments that were designed in an era when it was assumed that car-ownership would be universal. \n\n\n\nImproving the physical infrastructure of streets and increasing their connectivity is however only part of what needs to be done to encourage people to choose active travel. In addition\, people need the confidence to know that they have the ability to reach their destination safely and on time; and need support and encouragement to change deeply ingrained habits such as driving to the local shops or school. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will explore ways of supporting people to do things differently. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull programme\n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introduction by ChairJulia ThriftDirector Healthier Place-making\, TCPA10:10The Abbey Estate regeneration project: reconnecting a post-war housing estateGlyn TullyAssociate Director\, Head of Urban Design\, Levitt Bernstein10:30Kendal Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan: improving walking and cycling routes for everyday journeys in a historic townNicola ParkerSenior Programme Manager Cycling and Walking\, Cumbria County Council10:50Q&A11:05Break11:15Wayfinding: giving people the confidence to walk by transforming perceptionsRichard SimonPartner\, Director of Planning\, Applied Information Group11:35Healthier Communities: learning from place-based built environment interventions to increase physical activityDr Katy KarampourDr Gemma BurgessCambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research11:55Q&A12:15Active Travel England – an introductionLaurence FallonDevelopment Management Team Leader\, Active Travel England12:25Closing remarksJulia ThriftDirector Healthier Place-making\, TCPA12:30Close\n\n\n\nSupported by:\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\nCover photo credit: Levitt Bernstein URL:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/event/20-minute-neighbourhoods-creating-connected-places/ LOCATION:Online – Zoom\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Website-Heroes-new-size.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20221129T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20221129T153000 DTSTAMP:20260517T103213 CREATED:20220629T135340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T144537Z UID:10000069-1669714200-1669735800@www.tcpa.org.uk SUMMARY:A New Era for Green Infrastructure?

The TCPA has produced a wealth of guidance and resources to support those interested in this task. \n\n\n\nThis webinar\, part of the TCPA New Communities Group series\, will focus on the hooks local authorities have to secure stewardship through the planning system. From Local Plan policy to Design Codes\, discussion will look at when and how to secure implementation of long-term stewardship in a new community through planning.  \n\n\n\nThe webinar will be chaired by TCPA Vice Chair Catriona Riddell\, with contributions from speakers including Katy Lock (Director of Communities\, TCPA)\, Mark Patchett (Stewardship and placemaking consultant)\, Richard Ford (Partner\, Pinsent Masons LLP)\, Philip Bowsher (Head of Environment\, Parks Trust MK)\, Robin Waddle (Business Development Director\, GreenBelt). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n10:00: Welcome and introduction from the ChairCatriona Riddell\, TCPA Vice Chair (confirmed) \n\n\n\n10:05: Securing stewardship through planning – legal considerationsRichard Ford\, Partner\, Pinsent Masons LLP \n\n\n\n10:15: Securing stewardship through planning – understanding levers and detailMark Patchett\, Stewardship and Placemaking Consultant \n\n\n\n10:25: Securing stewardship requirements in policy: The Plan:MKPhilip Bowsher\, Head of Environment\, The Parks Trust\, Milton Keynes \n\n\n\n10:35: Q&A \n\n\n\n10:55: Planning for stewardship at Northstowe: Reflections from a stewardship providerRobin Waddle\, Business Development Director\, GreenBelt \n\n\n\n11:05: TCPA toolkit on stewardship for new communitiesKaty Lock MRTPI\, Director – Communities & Project Delivery (FJ Osborn Fellow)\, TCPA \n\n\n\n11:15: Q&A \n\n\n\n11:30: Close \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is part of the TCPA New Communities Group programme of events. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupported by:\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\nPlease select the number of tickets required before clicking ‘Get Tickets’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage by Torsten Kellermann URL:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/event/tcpa-new-communities-group-webinar-long-term-stewardship-in-new-communities-from-vision-to-reality/ LOCATION:Online – Zoom\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:New Communities Group,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.tcpa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/pexels-torsten-kellermann-955656-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20221006T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20221006T113000 DTSTAMP:20260517T103213 CREATED:20220719T152724Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220930T173625Z UID:10000071-1665050400-1665055800@www.tcpa.org.uk SUMMARY:An introduction to planning reform for elected councillors DESCRIPTION:Chaired by Gilian Macinnes\, TCPA Trustee and independent planning consultant\, and facilitated by Hugh Ellis\, the TCPA’s Director of Policy\, this introductory session will explain the current English planning system and outline how the proposed reforms to the system are expected to be implemented.

To reflect the emphasis Ministers have been placing on good design in recent years\, a wealth of guidance has been published including the National Design Guide\, the National Model Design Code\, and a programme of pilots to test local design codes has been undertaken. Updates have also been made to the National Planning Policy Framework. \n\n\n\nPart of the TCPA New Communities Group series\, this webinar will be an opportunity to hear about research\, published by the Bartlett School of Planning\, about the evaluation and lessons from the first 15 local design code pilots. But it will also be a chance to hear perspectives from the private sector\, as well as local authorities\, who have been working with them to improve the quality of new communities\, and how this knowledge can be applied in other places. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda10:00  Welcome and introduction from the ChairCatriona Riddell\, TCPA Trustee10:05Design code pilots\, monitoring and evaluationProf. Matthew Carmona\, Professor of Planning and Urban DesignThe Bartlett School of Planning\, University College London10:20Working with design codes to create high quality communities Kevin Parker\, Group Master Planning Director\, Redrow Homes Limited10:30   Q&A    10:45Piloting design codes in PortsmouthLaura Archer\, Senior Planning Officer\, Portsmouth City Council10:55  The use of design codes at Bournville Village TrustArthur Tsang\, Director of Communities\, Bournville Village Trust11:05Q&A11:30Close\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is part of the TCPA New Communities Group programme of events.

At the same time\, much of the new housing being delivered is badly designed and in places which lack the basic social infrastructure needed to make healthy and vibrant communities.  \n\n\n\nHow can we meet the shared ambition to build the number of homes we need in places we can be proud of – places that will enhance people’s health and wellbeing and help resilience to climate change?  \n\n\n\nAs communities and councils\, we have a clear choice. Do we want people to live in soulless housing estates and – as has resulted from recent changes to permitted development rules – converted flats with no windows? Or do we want our legacy to be one of quality and inclusion in communities we can all be proud of?  \n\n\n\nThe Garden City development model – a proven way of funding\, creating and maintaining successful high-quality places is an important part of the portfolio of solutions required to achieve this.  Councils are required to consider opportunities for new settlements as they consider growth options\, and the Garden City Principles remain an important hook in national policy. A true ‘Garden City’ is a place created following the Garden City Principles\, but developments at any scale can benefit from using this holistic approach.   \n\n\n\nDrawing on the TCPA’s Practical Guides and ongoing research programme\, alongside experience from those planning and delivering new places\, this webinar provides an introduction to the Garden City Principles\, and outlines the key opportunities and challenges for their delivery. It will also touch on recent policy developments such as updates to National Planning Practice Guidance related to new settlements.   \n\n\n\nThis introductory session is aimed at Councillors but will be useful for anyone involved in the planning or delivery of new or renewed communities.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDraft Programme10:00Welcome and introduction from the Chair\n  \nFiona Howie\, TCPA CEO \n10:05Introduction to the Garden City opportunities and TCPA resources \n  \nKaty Lock\, Director\, Communities & Project Delivery (FJ Osborn Fellow) \n10:20The Homes England Garden Communities Programme \n  \nFionnuala Lennon\, Head of Garden Communities\, Homes England  \n10:30Q&A10:45Delivering Garden Communities\n  \nRob Smith\, Hyas Associates (invited) \n10:55Local authority case study\n  \nTBC \n11:05Q&A11:15Close\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re grateful to the Lady Margaret Patterson Osborn Trust for supporting this event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrices: FREE for TCPA Members; £45+vat for non-members. \n\n\n\nClick here to check if you qualify for the TCPA Member rate \n\n\n\nPlease note this webinar will be broadcast using Zoom software.

However\, for planners\, campaigners and communities in Belfast\, it takes on a more pressing\, life-and-death\, significance. \n\n\n\nBelfast’s history of sectarian violence continues to weigh heavily on its shoulders. With the continued segregation of large parts of the city\, the ‘interface zones’ between communities forming flashpoints\, and stark inequalities that persist twenty years into the\, still fragile\, peace process. \n\n\n\nHuman rights organisation\, Participation and Practice of Rights (PPR)\, has been lobbying for community-led housing in some of Belfast’s most deprived conflict areas. The Town and Country Planning Association is working with them to support a wider conversation about what a non-sectarian\, community-led housing initiative would look like for the city. \n\n\n\nIn this one-off event we will hear from PPR’s Marissa McMahon\, who will discuss their campaign\, what they are trying to achieve for the community\, and the challenges they face in a city which continues to struggle with deep sectarian divisions.  There will also be the opportunity for those attending to put their questions to Marissa as a Q&A during the session. \n\n\n\nTo read more about the campaign and the TCPA’s involvement\, you can read Hugh Ellis’ blog here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\, Marissa McMahon:\n\n\n\nMarissa currently works as an organiser with the Participation and Practice of Rights (a human rights-based organisation) in Belfast working on the ‘Build Homes Now’ campaign\, which aims to tackle systemic religious inequality in housing provision in the North of Ireland. \n\n\n\nMarissa has been involved in the campaign since 2009\, personally lobbying at both EU and UN level regarding catholic inequality in housing. She has studied housing inequalities with a focus on housing rights movements in South Africa\, North of Ireland and the USA using a rights-based approach. She has produced a website www.lessonsforchange.org as a resource for housing activists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a FREE event and will be held online (Zoom).
