Room 106

Show Notes

In this episode, we’ll be discussing:

The local elections – the areas where the Reform UK and Green advance, and changes in council control, will have the greatest impact on planning and development. The High Court sentencing a homeowner to six months in prison for ignoring a planning injunction prohibiting an unauthorised house extension. The Court of Appeal finding apparent bias by a council planning director in revoking a lawful development certificate, in a case described by the judge as “most unusual”.

Key planning news, and why it is important, brought to you by the team behind Planning magazine, the leading source of independent intelligence for planning professionals for 50 years.
