Best known recently for chairing the Liverpool Street Station redevelopment discussions and overseeing a record number of scheme approvals in 2025, his talk at Temple Bar offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the person at the centre of the capital\u2019s most consequential planning decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.78; color: #2a2a2a; margin: 0 0 20px 0;\">Sleigh will present his vision for London\u2019s future, with a focus on architecture that lifts the spirit as much as the skyline. He addresses sustainability and heritage as parallel rather than competing concerns, drawing on his experience in planning, his education at Cambridge, a Fulbright scholarship, and senior roles at the BBC and Amazon UK before his work in public life.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f4fce8; border-left: 4px solid #97D422; border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0; padding: 15px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Sleigh recently chaired the contentious Liverpool Street Station redevelopment discussions and oversaw a record number of scheme approvals in 2025, giving this talk particular relevance for architects and developers active in the City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.78; color: #2a2a2a; margin: 0 0 28px 0;\">The seminar runs for two hours with doors opening at 6:05pm and the talk starting promptly at 6:30pm.
