Description

Dear Rory

I just wanted to say a big thank you for chairing the Brownfield Briefing conference in Belfast last week, it was a pleasure to work with you again. I am pleased to say that the day was extremely well received, with many positive comments from attendees, such as “excellent speakers”, “highly relevant topics”, and “good range of knowledgeable presentations”. Where delegates were asked to rate speakers, in your role as Chairman you scored mostly 5s, rated as “Excellent” and 4s, “Very Good”, so thank you for your contribution in making this event a success.

Thank you again for speaking at this conference and I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you on another event in the near future.

Kind regards
Amanda

The absence of statutory guidance in Northern Ireland means that the majority of contaminated land and groundwater is dealt with under the Planning regime. Changes to the planning framework through the restructuring of Councils in Northern Ireland, and a review of planning in the Republic of Ireland, means it is vitally important that all professionals involved in brownfield development have a thorough understanding of the changes and their implications. This year’s Brownfield & Contaminated Land conference programme has been fully re-researched and updated with Environmental Health Officers, Consultants and Regulators working in the risk assessment and remediation of brownfields across the country, to ensure it brings you the most up-to-date information on changes to contaminated land and planning guidance and what these changes mean for you.
