The aim of the meeting was to raise the profile of planning and develop contacts between AMs and the planning community, particularly at this time with the upcoming development of the Welsh Planning White Paper. Many influential AM’s attended the reception , including Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, who was the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales until 2011, and the former MP Julie Morgan.

The Reception focussed on the planning system in Wales and allowed planning professionals and other stakeholders to discuss issues of interest, including: spatial planning, delivering quality housing, tackling climate change, creating the conditions for sustainable growth, and empowering communities to take charge of their local environment and realise the aspirations for it.
