They can also be helpful for those seeking to get an overview of the complete housing project, and an understanding of the different stages involved.<h3></h3><h3>Topics for this Workshop 3A: </h3><h3>Getting Permission...RUSS's experience of securing planning permission</h3><ul><li>How to be a Client - developing a project brief, establishing a project board and team, setting budgets</li></ul><ul><li>Recruiting the Resident Group &amp; establishing an Allocations Policy</li></ul><ul><li>The Co-Design process</li></ul><ul><li>The Planning Process - Permissions, Conditions &amp; Obligations</li></ul><ul><li>RUSS’s experience</li></ul><ul><li>Individual &amp; group exercises </li></ul><h3>RUSS team for the day:</h3>Emma Gittus, Director at Bringelly, community-led housing project specialist, and former RUSS project managerMegan Ancliffe &amp; Gordon O'Connor-Read, Russ members and future Church Grove residentsChris Carthy, Architect and current RUSS project managerAnne Kennedy, workshop organiser, RUSS School Board co-optee---------------------------------------------------------------------------Attending Modules 1 &amp; 2 before this workshop is advisable.
