Contracts Seminar 2: Post-contract procedures (construction).

9.15am – 1pm: Speaker: Colin Moore CMLI

Having chosen the contractor and let the contract it is essential for all parties to understand and perform their duties in order to achieve a successful outcome. This seminar includes: the duties of the contract administrator, contractor and client under the JCLI Landscape Works Contract 2008 and JCT Minor Works Building Contract 2007; the milestones through the contract period from the pre-commencement meeting to practical completion and on to the final certificate, including examining the issues and roles of the parties for aspects like payment, extension of time, claims and disputes.

This seminar is CPD for Chartered Landscape Architects, P2C candidates, garden designers, landscape contractors and all those involved with the construction phase of projects using the JCLI Landscape Works or JCT Minor Works contracts. It covers part C3 of the P2C syllabus.

Colin Moore has worked in the landscape industry for 40 years with experience as a contractor, clerk of works, and as a landscape architect in local government and private practice. He established Moore Piet + Brookes (MP+B) and was its senior partner for 20 years. He is now a consultant landscape architect providing advice to other practices, undertaking his own landscape projects and providing landscape training and teaching to the landscape industry.

Planning Seminar: Planning Policies and Procedure.

1.45 – 5pm: Speaker: Ian Phillips MRTPI CMLI

The planning system was substantially revised by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which introduced spatial planning, based on the hierarchy of Planning Policy Statements, Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks. More recently, the Coalition Government has made clear its intention to carry out a comprehensive review of the planning system. It has effectively revoked all regional planning policy, expressed an intention to reduce ‘red tape’ and streamline the system and is promoting the making of policy and decisions at a local level. The Localism Bill proposes major changes and CLG has consulted widely on a new and controversial National Planning Policy Framework to form the basis for all planning policy. The planning system is therefore currently in a state of flux and is likely to remain so for some time to come.

Against this dynamic background, this seminar will seek to cover planning policy principles, key features of development management and planning application procedures, including the use of conditions and Section 106 Agreements, and appeals and planning inquiries. It also looks briefly at the relevance of Building Regulations, highway authorities and utility companies to landscape issues.
