Tuesday 21 May 2024 4:30pm - 6:30pm

Join us for a discussion, over afternoon tea, with a panel of advisors and landowners as they debate the opportunities and challenges presented by the development of rural land and property for housing and enterprise.

At this UKREiiF Fringe event, hosted by Irwin Mitchell and Rural Solutions, we’ll explore:

• Examples of rural development that are leading the way in creating a viable future for the countryside, BNG and Natural Capital opportunities
• Challenge some of the preconceptions of rural development as ‘too tricky’ and how these can be overcome
• How with the right approach, we can lead the way in delivering development that is appropriate to its place, enables the regeneration of natural resources and landscapes and empowers rural places to shape positive futures.

This event is aimed at landowners, land agents, developers and landed estate advisors and practitioners.
