Collaborative project<br />
aims to develop future<br />
planners<br />
A NEW PROJECT to inspire and support the next<br />
generation of planning officers is underway.<br />
Charnwood Borough Council is working alongside planning consultancy<br />
Marrons and law firm Shakespeare Martineau to help Loughborough<br />
University students learn about the planning application process.<br />
The project which is part of the third year Planning, Policy and People<br />
module on the Urban Planning BSc/MPlan course will run until May this<br />
year.<br />
Around 18 students will gain an understanding on the documentation<br />
required to submit a planning application as well as learning about the<br />
process from submission through<br />
to decision-making. They will<br />
also find out how objections to an<br />
application can be put forward.<br />
It comes as the borough council<br />
recently welcomed a third-year<br />
Urban Planning student from the<br />
University to the planning team on<br />
a 12-month internship.<br />
The project is being ran across<br />
two phases. The first will include<br />
the preparation of a fictional<br />
planning application and a series<br />
of objections, both of which will be<br />
heard at a mock plans committee.<br />
The second and final phase will<br />
consist of a mock planning appeal<br />
hearing which will be supported<br />
by planning lawyers from<br />
Shakespeare Martineau.<br />
David Pendle, a Partner at<br />
Marrons has been supporting the<br />
delivery of the project. He said:<br />
“We are delighted to be working<br />
with key partners to help inspire<br />
the next generation of planners.<br />
“The project fits well with our own<br />
Marrons apprenticeship scheme<br />
as we look to develop talent and<br />
also complements our responsible<br />
business initiatives. I am looking<br />
forward to helping the students<br />
understand the different stages<br />
of the planning process and<br />
watching them grow as they put<br />
their learning into practice.”<br />
As the Local Planning Authority,<br />
Charnwood Borough Council is<br />
responsible for making decisions<br />
on planning applications (in line<br />
with local and national policies).<br />
The Council receives and<br />
processes around 2,500 planning<br />
applications each year.<br />
