MPA/RTPI Mineral Planning Conference 2014

摘要

The annual MPA/RTPI Mineral Planning Conference, which took place on Thursday 22 May at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium, attracted top speakers from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), The Wildlife Trusts and the Planning Officers Society, among others, along with 185 delegates and exhibitors. The theme of the national event, which each year tackles the crucial mineral planning issues of the day, was 'Sustainable Minerals Supply - Are We There Yet? The Influence of the National Planning Policy Framework'. The conference looked at whether the presumption in favour of sustainable development, formalized in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) more than two years ago, has in fact resulted in any changes to the way that the regulatory processes work together to deliver sustainable development.
