Planning debates around housing often become dominated by opposition voices, even when many local residents support new homes in principle. This interactive session explores how supportive voices can be mobilised more effectively in planning conversations. Led by planning engagement specialists, the discussion will examine practical approaches to engaging communities earlier, building local confidence in development and shifting the tone of planning debates.
