A week has flown by since Brookbanks exhibited at the Young Planner's Conference 2023 #YPConf23!

Annabel Le Lohé, Development and Planning Manager comments

"It was a brilliant experience to meet so many passionate people working in our industry. It's clear that there is great appetite for enhanced public and private collaboration to bring forward major infrastructure, landmark projects and ultimately provide for our existing and new communities. The legacy of the Commonwealth Games provides a great springboard for sports groups to utilise upgraded facilities and for wider regeneration in areas such as Perry Barr."

Congratulations to all involved in the organisation of the event, we were delighted to have supported the RTPI through sponsoring the event this year, and are excited for #YPConf24 in Cambridge.

The session was aimed at those working across planning, development and technical disciplines who are involved in preparing, coordinating or contributing to EIAs, particularly on large and complex schemes.

High‑rise developments rarely fail through lack of ambition, but through risks that are identified too late. When planning, infrastructure, fire strategy, servicing and buildability are treated as separate exercises, schemes often look strong in concept but weaken rapidly at delivery, leading to redesign, delays and value erosion. This article explores why early, joined‑up thinking is essential for tall buildings, and how front‑end due diligence and integrated strategy can reduce risk, protect viability and create schemes that are genuinely deliverable.
