OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The Naked Planner
An introduction to the shadowy world of land use planning presented by Daniel Scharf, who has had over forty years experience working in the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Come along if you are interested in the environment, politics, cities, sustainable development or simply the world around you!
The purpose of the session will be to demystify the planning process and encourage people to become more active and effective in their engagement with the planning system (both locally and nationally). There will be every opportunity to ask Daniel about all aspects of the planning system while he discusses the principle of ‘sustainable development’ and how this is and should be applied in plan-making and decision-taking.
