NEW DATE Developer Forum 22nd November IN PERSON
Hello DFFs!
Our next Developer Forum has now been reset for 22 NOVEMBER! As previously planned, we'll be meeting in person at High House (at the Barns, where we last met in March 2020).
This is not going to be a hybrid meeting but we will attempt to video it for those unable to attend in person.
As before, the time is 2:00 - 3:30 pm.
Our agenda is still in draft form, but, as always, Kirsty will have a Local Plan Update and we will have special guests. Anticipated topics include Viability Assessments, the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Healthy Places.
We'd appreciate it if you could let us know if you are coming so we can keep an eye on numbers and make sure we don't get overcrowded. I've set up a super easy form here: RSVP Form and made it so you can tell us about all the members of your team with one submission, if that's easier for you.
If you've not been to High House before, the following link will get you here. If you look at the map of the production park site, the barns are (is?) the purple building above the North Courtyard. There is some parking onsite but it is also walkable from Purfleet train station.
The team are looking forward to seeing you!
