It’ll look at what planning can do to meet these challenges while also attracting sustainable investment and growth to a region that lags behind the South on most economic indicators. A mixture of keynote speeches and panel discussions, the event will feature speakers as varied as housing minister Christopher Pincher MP and Dame Sarah Storey, Paralympic cyclist and active travel commissioner for Sheffield. But what kind of views and insight can you expect to hear?
