Property Development Forum

Laurence Associates is pleased to be attending the Property Development Forum this Wednesday, with Liz Alexander, Planning Director and Sam Fuller, Associate Planner, representing the practice.

The Property Development Forum was established to bring together people with a shared interest in property, originally as a small group exchanging ideas and opportunities. It has since grown into a broad and welcoming network, supporting everyone from highly experienced developers to those at the very beginning of their property development journey.

The Forum hosts informal, in-person monthly events across the Southwest, creating a space where property developers, investors, owners, and professionals can meet, learn, and share insights in a collaborative environment.

We look forward to attending, meeting fellow members, and contributing to discussions around planning, development potential, and the evolving property landscape.
