WEBINAR - Planning Regulation Changes – what they are and what they mean in practice

23rd September 2020

This webinar will provide an overview of some of the recent planning changes announced by the Government including changes to permitted development rights and use classes, as well as a look at the Planning White Paper: Planning For The Future, which the Prime Minister described as “Radical reform unlike anything we have seen since the Second World War”.

Paul Wakefield from Shakespeare Martineau will look at the White Paper and give some thoughts as to whether the proposed changes are as radical as the prime minister would have us believe, and together with Tony Aspbury of Aspbury Planning they will look at the changes announced to use classes and permitted development which took effect at the beginning of September and what those will mean in practice.

There will also be the opportunity to ask questions of Paul and Tony after their presentations.

WEBINAR - ROMO Fabrics presentation and site tour

10th September 2020

ROMO Fabrics is a fifth-generation family run business based in Nottinghamshire. They are a market leader in designer fabrics and wallcoverings. In 2016, the company started the search for an architect to design a new global HQ, merging four existing sites.

Maber was appointed to take this project forward. The brief was to design a quality, contemporary building to reflect the ROMO Group values for distinctive design but at the same time reflect their honesty and caring ethos. The building needed to have a wow factor to impress customers and visitors but also be an outstanding place to work for their 350 plus employees.

Hear from Maber Architects about this project and watch a site tour to see the progress of the build. A panel comprising of representatives from Maber, CPW, PML Construction Management and BSP Consulting will also be on hand live to answer any questions.
