SUMMARY:The Exchange #22 Reusing Structural Steel
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 13 July 2026\, NTB hosted The Exchange #22: Reusing Structural Steel at Momentum Engineering’s offices in Bath. \nThis workshop explored the opportunities and challenges of repurposing and reusing structural steel on various projects. Across the morning we heared directly from Gavin Cooper\, Joe Garbett and Beth Williams from Momenum Engineering. Together\, they shared lessons from using repurposing structural steel on the Bristol Zoo redevelopment and reusing structural steel on a temporary theatre projects in Canary Wharf. The talks offered practical insights around the opportunities and challenges these approaches present into designing with reclaimed materials and how to navigate the various barriors and approvals needed to reuse structural steel elements in future projects. \n\nFollowing the presentations and over lunch we continued the conversation discussing the barriers to using reclaimed materials more widely\, giving everyone the opportunity to share experiences\, challenge assumptions and explore how these obstacles can be overcome. \n\nAgenda\n9:45 | Arrival\, teas and coffees\n10:00 | Introductions and NTB updates\n10:15 | Use of repurposed structural steel on Bristol zoo project | Beth Williams & Joe Garbett\n11:15 | Break\n11:45 | Use of reclaimed steel in temporary theatre projects | Gavin Cooper\n12.30 | Lunch and Reflection\n14:00 | Thank you and close

SUMMARY:The Exchange #25 Planning in Practice
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 16th November 2026\, Neighbourhood Toolbox will host The Exchange at the Westway Workspace\, Frome. \nWe’ll begin with Diana Miller\, Planning and Highways Solicitor and Co-Founder of Westway Workspace. Drawing on her experience\, Diana will explore recent updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)\, their implications for local projects\, and her reflections on the growing role of AI in planning. \nFollowing a short break\, David Sinclair and Wilf Meynell of Studio Bark will join us online to introduce their new AI-powered Planning Appeal Intelligence (PAI) tool. Designed specifically for architects and planning consultants\, PAI streamlines the preparation of planning statements\, appeal arguments and heritage assessments. \nWe’ll then hear from Tom Bennett of Studio Bark\, who will give a live demonstration of SmallCarbon. The tool helps practices simplify whole-life carbon analysis\, support planning submissions with robust carbon data\, and clearly communicate carbon metrics to clients and stakeholders. \nAfter lunch\, provided by Neighbourhood Toolbox\, we’ll reconvene with Owen King\, Planning and Development Project Officer at Frome Town Council. Owen will share insights into his role\, the key planning issues facing Frome and the priorities shaping its future development. \nAgenda:\n9.45–10.00 | Arrivals\, tea & coffee \n10.00–10.15 | Introductions and NTB updates \n10.15–11.15 | Diana Miller – National and local planning context \n11.15–11.30 | Tea break \n11.30–12.30 | Studio Bark and David Sinclair – PAI and SmallCarbon tools \n12.30–13.30 | Lunch and Discussion \n13.30 | Owen King – Priorities in Frome \n14.30 | Close and thanks
