# Webinar: Using planning and devolution to deliver healthy and active environments

![Webinar: Using planning and devolution to deliver healthy and active environments](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/using-planning-and-devolution-to-deliver-healthy-and-active-environments-webinar.png)

Watch our recent webinar in partnership with Landor LINKS, our very own Emma
Jolly chaired the session on how planners can help deliver healthy and active
environments.

Prioritising health in transport and planning policies is a win-win for
everyone, so why is it so difficult to manage, communicate and deliver?

This webinar looked at the new powers and guidance that can help transport,
spatial and urban planners to deliver more healthy and active environments.

The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, currently passing through
Parliament, promises to give increased powers to their directly elected leaders
and mayors so they can unlock housing, transport and jobs in their regions.

At the same time, the revised National Planning Policy Framework now states
that: “Transport issues should be considered from the earliest stages of
plan-making and development proposals, using a vision-led approach to identify
transport solutions that deliver well-designed, sustainable and popular places.”
