Delighted to join Wates Developments at this year’s LPDF lunch — with Cheerful Charlie as guest speaker. Over 700 people from across the land, planning and development world came together at The Brewery on Chiswell Street, London — making this the Land, Planning and Development Federation's largest event to date. Thank you to the Wates Developments team for the exceptionally kind invitation — and in particular to Victoria George-Taylor, Meryl Baker and David Brocklebank for the superb and generous hospitality. → Insight from Charles Ireland on farming, agriculture and the challenges facing rural landowners. → A packed room of land promoters, housebuilders, planners, agents and advisors. → And plenty of valuable conversations across the strategic land sector. Great to catch up with familiar faces — and meet a few new ones too. If we didn’t get a chance to speak on the day, feel free to get in contact. A huge thank you again to our excellent hosts at Wates.
