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 />
