As 2025 draws to a close, the planning industry finds itself at a pivotal moment. The latest Brookbanks podcast brings together leading voices from across the sector to reflect on whether this year delivered the transformation promised, and what lies ahead as we move into 2026.
When it comes to large-scale development, policy is the easy part. The real challenge? Turning planning requirements into deliverable masterplans that survive detailed design and actually work on the ground. That was the focus of our recent webinar, where we shared practical insights from the Brightwell Lakes project near Ipswich, a 2,000-home scheme shaped by complex ground conditions, mineral extraction, and sensitive transport corridors.
In this episode of the Brookbanks podcast, Danny Lloyd-Jones and Jack Kenny from Brookbanks join Guy Kippen of Prime Plc to explore the evolving landscape of healthcare development in the UK. Together, they discuss innovative approaches to improving NHS infrastructure and creating better environments for staff and patients.
