In this Deep Dive edition, we discuss an investigation by Planning into:

• How the government measures up to its own local authority planning targets when it comes to speed of decision-making;
• The effectiveness of the 'special measures' regime to tackle councils’ development management performance.

PLUS, we round up the other most important news stories of the past seven days.
