What is the Developers Forum?
 
Waveney District Council Planning department aims to encourage better communication with its local development stakeholders. Under the Chairmanship of Councillor Ken Sale and Vice Chair Edward Gilder (Badger Builders Ltd) the group has met to discuss many of the difficult planning issues facing the district, to develop policies for both encouraging and controlling new development to meet the needs of all. It also proves a useful means of updating developers on government proposals and changes in the planning system.

Previous meetings have covered topics including: Planning Policy , Section 106 , Best Value Inspection Report, presentation from 1st East, planning policy workshop, planning improvement workshop, Local Authority Modernisation Project (LAMP) and Local Development Framework (LDF) updates and  Strategic Flood Risk Assessment .
