The Dedham Vale and Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape team is delighted to invite you to the second annual National Landscape Planning Event.
The event will be held on Thursday 14th March 2024 from 9:30am to 1:00pm at The Hold, 131 Fore Street, Ipswich, Suffolk IP4 1LR.
Come along to the event and hear from some nationally recognised speakers presenting on a range of topics including:
- The strengthened Duty on Relevant Authorities for National Landscapes
- The Lighting Design Guide for the National Landscapes
- Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects
- Biodiversity Net Gain .
There will be opportunities for debate in lively question and answer sessions and during the light refreshment break.
This is a free event however donations are welcome to the Stour Valley Environment Fund/Community Conservation Fund.
We are keen for people to attend the event in person and booking online in advance is essential.
While we are hoping that most people will attend in person, those who cannot easily get to the venue will be able to join virtually via Teams.
