ProCon Leicestershire Events

The Jewry Wall Museum opened to the public again in July after being under redevelopment for a considerable amount of time.

Join us for a talk by maber, Pulse Consult and Levitate where they will outline the the details of the redevelopment and then take you on guided tours of the Museum.

You will be able to see how the remains of the Roman bath house at Jewry Wall have been incorporated into a contemporary museum, with more than 100 Roman artefacts ­– all discovered in Leicester and Leicestershire - and the latest digital technology helping to bring Leicester’s Roman past to life.

The Grade II listed building that housed the old museum and the former Vaughan College has been sensitively refurbished, with huge glass walls connecting the ancient Jewry Wall and the outdoor space with the modern exhibition space inside.

At this event we will be providing food and drinks offering an opportunity to network after the tours.

An excellent networking opportunity to meet our 2025 Award finalists in a relaxed setting over a glass of wine or beer and some food.

If you attend the Awards you'll know that it is very hard to get to speak to everyone that you want to as the event is so busy.

At this event it is easier not only to find people but to be able to have a chat without the hustle and bustle of the Awards.

You don't have to come along for the whole evening. If you can only spare half an hour that is fine; we would just be delighted to see you.

2024 saw a raft of new legislation and consultations published by the Cabinet Office which look to expand on what can be achieved under the Permitted Development Rights as well as some proposed strengthening of the legislation around Brownfield Developments with a number of changes to existing Permitted Development Rights (PDRs) coming into effect from 21 May 2024 in England and Wales.

Our panel of speakers will look at what these changes are and the impact of the new legislation.

Speakers are:

Jacqueline Jackson, Planning Director - Marrons
Shruti Trivedi, Managing Director - Devello
Helen Knott, Director - nineteen47
Lee Ward, Director - Hayward Architects

In the last year the planning world seems to be rotating even faster than ever before.

This in turn has major implications for the whole development and construction industry.

To attempt to unravel some of this spin, we have organised this event where three local planning gurus: Grant Butterworth Head of Planning, Leicester City Council; Brian Mullin, Head of Planning, Marrons and Peter Wilkinson, Managing Director, Landmark Planning will attempt to not go round in circles to explain it all and the implications.

And to conclude, Sam Stafford, Managing Director of the Land, Planning and Development Federation will set these changes into their wider development and construction context.

The talks will last a maximum of one hour in total with a 20-30 minute question and answer session after. This will be followed by an adjournment to the bar and more networking.
