Housing and Planning
As part of our commitment to represent all groups involved or affected by construction and regeneration in our region we work with the School of Built Environment and Engineering‘s Housing and Planning team to support the activities of Leeds Planning Network (@leedsplanning).
Leeds Planning Network was established in November 2015 to support neighbourhood planning practices, groups and communities. Through topic focussed events, it provides a platform to discuss, debate and practical advise on local housing and planning issues as well as sharing policy and legal updates. It was set up with the aim of ultimately creating a good practice model for planning engagement and development in Leeds which can then be used a case study for adoption throughout the region and beyond.
