Wow so much has been happening this new year!!! Loads of great work for local Neighbourhood Plans including aspirational ideas for densifying town centre retail that can contribute significantly to regenerating town centres and hopefully reducing car use. Incidentally this work has been reflected in the UK Government's Housing White Paper. www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/590464/Fixing_our_broken_housing_market_-_print_ready_version.pdf
January 2017
TheUrbanGlow recently undertook lectures at the University of York Masters Heritage and Regeneration course. Some excellent feedback and great students to work with.
In late January two workshops were undertaken for residents of Aireborough near Leeds to inspire people about their place and inform its future development as part of the Neighbourhood Planning in the area. A really enjoyable workshop!!
Andy Graham also acted as Expert Witness on Heritage matters for a Planning Inquiry at Kirklees Knoll in Farsley where he supported the Farsley Residents Action Group in defending an important site to the Setting of the Farsley Conservation Area.
