CESW Summit 2026

Laurence Associates is pleased to be attending the CESW Construction, Infrastructure & Property Summit on 25 February 2026 at the Exeter College Future Skills Centre.

Representing the practice will be Director Jason Pledger and Associate Planner Sam Fuller, who will be connecting with developers, investors, and industry professionals from across the region.

With offices in Exeter and Truro, our team supports a wide range of projects across the Southwest, from early-stage site promotion and planning strategy through to securing permissions and delivering development potential.

The CESW Summit brings together leaders from across construction, infrastructure, and property to share knowledge, explore opportunities, and discuss the future of the built environment in the region. It’s an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, build relationships, and discuss the role of planning in successful development.

If you’re attending, we’d be delighted to meet you.
Come and talk to us about your projects, planning challenges, and how strategic planning advice can help unlock value in your land or development.
