Changemakers Meeting - Planning for Climate and Nature

Sustainable South Hams

Join us as we take a look at the current planning regulations and how we can incorporate those into action for climate and nature.

Follaton House

Planning is crucial in addressing the climate and nature crisis as it provides a strategic framework to mitigate environmental impacts, promote sustainable development, and proactively prepare for future climate events. By considering land use, infrastructure development, and conservation efforts in a holistic manner, we can seek to minimise harm to ecosystems while maximising resilience to climate change.Currently, planning is a tricky policy landscape to navigate, with the government introducing a huge chunk of uncertainty into decision making processes following the adoption of the new National Planning Policy Framework in December 2024.In this session we will be hearing from Strategic Planning Specialist Phil Baker on what the national picture looks like now, what it means for the application of our local policies, and consider what we may be able to do in the future.Peter Sandover, Chair of South Devon National Landscapes will also talk about Neighbourhood Plans and the enhanced duties of South Devon National Landscape as well as their Management Plan Review.We will also be joined by Thelma Rumsey and Cllr Mark Long from the Tree Warden Network to discuss the important points to consider when it comes to trees and planning, and Dr Ken Neal will cover ecological considerations.The event will be held in the Repton Room.
