We’re excited to launch a new programme of CPDs designed to share practical insight across planning, development and engineering, and to give you access to the breadth of expertise within our team.
Our sessions are shaped by real projects, real challenges and the day‑to‑day decision‑making we see across the sectors we work in, including education, healthcare, infrastructure, industry & logistics, data centres and residential. Whether you’re navigating complex development sites, looking to drive value through commercial strategy, or exploring the impact of emerging technical standards, our CPDs are built to support better outcomes across built environment sectors.
With more than 30 sessions now available, offered online for teams of any size, or delivered in person, our specialists are here to help deepen understanding, spark collaboration and equip you with practical knowledge you can apply immediately.
We offer a varied programme of CPDs hosted by experts across civil engineering, development management, mechanical and electrical engineering, land and development, structural engineering, and cost and commercial.
Below is the full list of sessions currently available…
Our civil engineering CPDs focus on strategic planning, site optimisation and adoption processes, helping you understand the engineering considerations that shape viable development.
Cost & Commercial
These sessions explore commercial strategy, risk and value, supporting better financial outcomes and more informed project management.
Development Management
Designed to provide context, case‑based learning and strategic insight into managing large‑scale developments.
Land, Development & Communities
Our specialists cover strategic land considerations, sustainable development and the evolving regulatory environment.
Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
These CPDs help teams navigate modern M&E challenges, from compliance to sustainability and emerging technologies.
Structural Engineering
Technical, insightful and grounded in real case studies, our structural sessions explore both traditional and innovative design approaches.
Whether you are looking for a single session, a themed series, or a tailored programme for your team, we’d be happy to help you find the right CPDs for your needs.

Brookbanks has expanded its local presence with a new Cardiff office, bringing multidisciplinary planning, engineering and development expertise to support projects across Wales and the UK. With strengthened capabilities in acoustics, SuDS, civil engineering and environmental services, our Cardiff‑based team provides integrated, practical solutions aligned with Welsh planning policy and technical approvals.
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.
