Join us for a practical and interactive session focussing on linear infrastructure.
This is a joint event with the CPA and NIPA, and all members are welcome to attend free of charge. The event is kindly hosted by Burges Salmon.

We are delighted to be joined by the Planning Inspectorate, who will give their insight into common themes, followed by breakout groups to discuss hot topics and issues in consenting and delivering linear projects. There will then be drinks, canapes and opportunities for networking following the event.
