ATLAS ran a workshop at the Planning Convention entitled "Delivering Quality Places through the Core Strategy and S106 Agreements". ATLAS ran the session as an interactive "Spatial Planning Clinic", asking attendees to self diagnose their symptoms. This revealed particularly widespread problems in respect of stalled projects and policy frameworks that are not up to date or flexible enough to cope with issues related to the economic downturn. ATLAS provided some advice on how planners could potentially respond, and ran some group therapy sessions to explore how participants at the workshop were responding to the new challenges put in front of them. A new topic paper will be added shortly to this website to provide advice on the issues raised, and a copy of the presentation from the Convention can be downloaded by clicking here, and a summary of the actual event by the RTPI can be found by clicking here
