NCLOG AGM & Conference 2026
The NCLOG Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference 2026 was hosted on 10th June 2026 with a range of speakers with a strong focus on planning and land contamination. Alongside the formal AGM business and organisational updates, this year’s event featured the launch of the NCLOG Framework Planning Conditions. The NCLOG AGM also provided a valuable forum to discuss and help shape a more consistent approach to planning, collaborate on shared experiences across authorities, and inform NCLOG’s future work programme. Check out the recordings from the conference on the IES YouTube channel.

Membership of NCLOG is exclusively open to local authority professionals working in land contamination, on an individual rather than an employer basis. Individuals wishing to join NCLOG must first join the Environmental Policy Implementation Community (EPIC). EPIC membership is open to all local authority environmental professionals, regardless of whether they are IES members. Those working in Land Contamination will also be able to join NCLOG.
