This week, we discuss:

• Research by housebuilders on how much unspent developer contribution cash councils are holding onto in their reserves;
• Further local plans falling victim to the new hardline approach from planning inspectors on the duration of plan examinations:
• Two unusual planning enforcement cases.

We also round up the other key news from the past week to make sure you’re up to speed on all the goings-on in the planning sector.
