Masterclass: Understanding Planning and Planners
Location: Riddel Hall, Stranmillis Road, Belfast
Date: 29 September 2016
Along with payment and procurement, planning is one of the three major challenges facing architects in Northern Ireland. RSUA is working to improve planning but it is equally important that architects have the knowledge and skills to make the most of the system as it stands.
RSUA has organised this masterclass workshop with the former chief planner to help architects improve their understanding of how planning decisions are made and how best to engage with planners. *Online booking now available*
