Law Society Skillnet is organising an online course on planning and environmental law later this month.

The Planning and Environmental Law Masterclass is aimed at all practitioners acting in both residential and commercial transactions.

The format includes a workshop element in each module to gain a practical and applied understanding of this area of the conveyancing process.

The topics covered reflect the planning and environmental issues arising for conveyancers, in addition to an overview of the planning-application and appeal process.

The course begins on Tuesday 20 February (2pm) and ends on Tuesday 5 March. It is worth ten general CPD hours by e-learning.

This masterclass will be hosted on an online learning platform (Moodle). Pre-recorded lectures will be accompanied by related workshops, which will be held live via Zoom.

Comprehensive materials and other resources will be uploaded to Moodle.
