Another full room for the latest PMF as the implications regarding the draft NPPF are discussed.
27 April 2026
MEP’s ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐บ returned, bringing together insightful speakers, engaged minds, and a shared appetite to make sense of the ever-evolving world of planning.
These events take time to organise, but thereโs always a moment, somewhere between the first presentation and the last lingering conversation, when you realise it was all worth it.
The discussion around the NPPF couldnโt have been more timely. Complex, evolving and if weโre being honest, not exactly bedtime reading. But our latest PMF proved something important: when you bring the right people together in one room, even the most intricate policy starts to feel accessible.
We were fortunate to be joined by Peter Goatley KC and Chatura Saravanan of ๐ก๐ผ.๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, whose expertise brought clarity, insight, and a fresh perspective to the conversation.
The Q&A. The networking. The shared curiosity that follows. Itโs these moments that remind you why you do what you do, which is where the value reveals itself.
So, to everyone who joined us โ a huge thank you. ๐
Until next timeโฆ because there will always be another conversation worth having.
