Lichfields shortlisted for RTPI Awards for Research Excellence
24 Aug 2021Lichfields is delighted to have been shortlisted for the sixth consecutive year at the RTPI Awards for Research Excellence.
This year’s entry Effective or Defective: The Housing Delivery Test. The cross-office insight, led by Manchester-based Planning Director Colin Robinson, investigates how effective the Housing Delivery Test actually is as a mechanism to tackle housing under-delivery in practical terms. It includes a review of appeal decisions to understand how much weight inspectors are attaching to the HDT in the planning balance and how it can be improved.
The ceremony will be held online as part of the Planning Research Conference, hosted by Newcastle University on Wednesday 8 September.
We are very proud to see this insight shortlisted in this year’s awards. It’s a culmination of work from experts across multiple offices and its inclusion showcases Lichfields’ commitment to research and providing the development industry with innovative resources.
