Nottingham is finally making the most of its proximity to the River Trent when it comes to housing.
Residential schemes are springing up alongside stretches of the waterway.
East Midlands Young Planners (EMYP) is offering an opportunity to glimpse not only the schemes underway but the scenery in general during its annual summer social on Thursday, July 11, 2019.
It has organised a social cruise along the River Trent to allow attendees to take the scenery, including some of the developments that have recently been built or are under construction.
The group, which represents young planners across the East Midlands region and further afield, has 280 members working in planning positions and allied professions.
This year’s event has been sponsored by Roythornes Solicitors and Ramm Sanderson Ecology.
The EMYP aims to bring together planners with up to 10 years postgraduate planning experience via relevant CPD events, social gatherings and networking opportunities across the region.
Membership is a 50:50 split of members between the private and public sectors.

Charlotte Lockwood, a committee member and an associate at Roythornes, said: "We are delighted to sponsor the event this year as we see the EMYP as providing a really useful hub for young planners to meet, share knowledge, develop their contacts and progress their professional development.
"The summer social is a great opportunity for people with a planning role or a vested interest in planning development and construction matters across the East Midlands to network and build relationships as well as meet new contacts.
"This year’s event is already proving popular with half of the tickets sold already."
The summer social is open to members and non-members.
Registration and drinks will take place at the Brewhouse Bar and Kitchen from 5pm with the boat departing from the Embankment at 6pm.
The three-hour river cruise will include drinks and a Caribbean barbecue buffet.
