A public workshop will explore whether recent planning reforms have marked the end of democratic planning.

Hosted by Devon CPRE, the event will take place on November 20 at the Exeter Court Hotel in Kennford from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

It will examine significant changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Jo Widdecombe, an independent planning consultant, will lead the session and explain what the latest government reforms mean for the planning process.

The event is free for Devon CPRE members and member organisations, with up to three attendees per member council eligible for free entry.

Non-members are welcome to attend for a fee of £15 per person.

Devon CPRE describes itself as "the voice for Devon’s countryside."

Booking can be made by contacting Penny at director@cpredevon.org.uk or by calling 01392 966737.

Devon CPRE is a registered charity.
