Westminster Policy & Planning Briefing

29 Jan 2025 to 29 Jan 2025
8:00 am to 10:00 am

Kicking off the new year, this WPA member briefing session, hosted by Landsec at their Victoria headquarters, will explore the raft of emerging planning policies that will come forward in 2025.

Attendees will be briefed on the latest phase of Westminster City Council’s Partial Review of its City Plan, which will shortly go to Examination in Public (EiP). This will be followed by a panel discussion comprising of industry leaders in development, planning and engineering to review the areas we believe the EiP will focus on, as well as discuss planned updates to the National Planning Policy Framework, the London Plan and the anticipated full review of Westminster Council’s City Plan later in the year.

Due to limited space and in order to support an open discussion, this seminar is only available to paying WPA member companies.
