April Forum - presentations (posted 15 April 08)
The last meeting of members of Bradford Property Forum (on 9 April) heard about the Bradford team's visit to MIPIM, the international property convention in Cannes, France.
The breakfast gathering at Bradford University also heard about changes (or, at least, objectives and requests) to the local planning system and how things could be improved for businesses. A 'round robin' of property and regeneration developments from outside the city centre were also featured in a four-pronged, three-topic agenda (that is, three topics with four speakers) that was suitably completed with some tough but fair questions to the presenters.
The speakers (click on links for presentations) were:
Stephen Talboys, Bradford Centre Regeneration - MIPIM report
Chris Hughes, Bradford Council - Planning Review (Council-side)
Clive brook, Dacre Son & Hartley - Planning Review (Forum-side)
Mike Osborne, Arup Consultants - Around the District (too large to post here)
Next event - 18 June, 8am for 8.30, Midland Hotel. Topic - transport
