The Land Use Framework was announced this week, the groundbreaking first policy of its kind in England designed to optimise land use across nature, food production, energy generation, housing and climate adaptation. It sets out the government’s vision for land use across sectors, the principles and the mechanisms that will guide better decisions.
But a policy is only ever as good as its plan for delivery.
Join our panel of experts working on land use change on the ground, as they dig into what the Framework says, what this really means for the different calls on land, and how to make it all work in practice.
Sue Pritchard – Chief Executive of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission
Phil Stocker - Chair of the Dartmoor Land Use Management Group and CEO National Sheep Association.
Carolyn McKenzie - Director of Environment and Planning, Surrey County Council, and chair of ADEPT – the association of local government directors of environment, planning and transport.
Further speakers to be announced
Chaired by Georgie Barber, Land Use Lead at the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.
