We would love to meet you, give you some of ONH's famous ground coffee, and hear more about your town or parish council and your local planning issues.

ONH's regular Guesswork to Gameplan seminars have been designed to give you the opportunity to step back, review the latest changes in planning, ask questions, and evolve your approach to planning to suit your council area. Our next online seminar, Guesswork to Game Plan 2026: Planning for Town and Parish Councils, is on 22nd October at 11.00am.

Local plans are changing. Join our seminar in July on the reforms, devolution, neighbourhood plans & more for parishes and towns — plus live Q&A. The local plan system has changed fundamentally. The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 introduced a new four-stage plan-making process that every local planning authority in England must now follow — and for the first time, the rules governing when and how you can have your say are written clearly into statute.

Last month, Leani and Neil attended the Consortium for Scenario Planning annual conference and Neil presented case studies of our XSP experiences on plan making projects for Buckingham and St. Neots... What struck us most at the conference was the scale and scope of the XSP work in the USA. It is being used by state and local governments across its urban and rural areas akin to our new Spatial Development Strategy geography.

ONH: Planning for Good are hosting a free online seminar 'From Guesswork to Game Plan' to learn more about the changes, how they impact on councils and how best to prepare for the future, as well as having your questions answered.

ONH have travelled the country throughout June delivering interactive Q&As and hands on workshops about the latest changes to planning and the impact on town and parish councils.
