This week, we will be focusing on new planning guidance that’s been published by the housing ministry.

We will be discussing:

• The long-awaited new guidance on how new national planning policy on green belt should be applied.
• Other new guidance on development on brownfield land, transitional arrangements for joint local plans, and how planners should take account of new local nature recovery strategies. 

In addition, we will be talking about the government announcing that it will take forward key elements of the previous administration’s radical changes to the plan-making system.

We’ll also be rounding 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.
