On Friday I’ll be in Belfast presenting to law firm Carson McDowell and the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action on the importance (and context, structure, issues and techniques) of consultation in planning.

I’ll be covering some of the content of my book Public Consultation and Community Involvement in Planning: a twenty-first century guide and Rhion Jones, Founder Director of The Consultation Institute, will speak on access to consultation, the rising expectations for community involvement, the concept of ‘NIMBYism’ and effective working between organisations and politicians.

This is the first part of a series of presentations organised by The Consultation Institute which will be available to organisations throughout the UK.

Please get in touch if this might be of interest.

Update – 15 February 2018 – read a review of the presentation to NICVA.
