The Fire Sector Summit is the leading industry forum for key decision makers and influencers from across the fire sector.
Boasting talks and workshops by leading UK fire professionals, this year’s event is attracting a wide range of delegates. The aim of the Summit is to encourage discussion and debate on the sector’s most recent developments and themes and act as a catalyst for change within the world of fire safety.
Previous years have influenced tangible transitions in the fire sector, and this year we will be focusing on:
Brexit plenary with our expert panel from BSI, FIA, and the FPA
Post Grenfell Tower Update session with more experts to put your questions to
Robust testing and certification of timber fire doors with Mike Wood of FSF and ASDMA
The New Joint Competency Authority – Paul Timmins, BRAC and Paul Everall, LABC
Post Grenfell and the Hackitt Review there is no better time for the industry to come together and make a real difference.
Development pressure is being felt today in many smaller settlements for new housing or employment sites as the economy continues to grow. This seminar-workshop will look at the historical form, function and landscape setting of small towns, villages and hamlets and how to actively plan for the future.
With developers and land owners keen to promote specific sites, are there better, more place-sensitive ways to assess the suitability of what is being built where? What factors can positively shape the form of new development? Which criteria can have weight in the planning system and will help to support a settlement’s sense of place? This session includes a hands-on workshop and case studies on how to do this in practice.
This HTVF event will be of interest to neighbourhood planning groups, local authority councillors and officers, civic and amenity groups, and developers and consultants to the development industry. See our website for the programme details: http://www.htvf.org/News/
