This week, we are launching the first of a new monthly series examining the key appeal and court decisions from the past four weeks.

Joining me is our technical editor David Dewar who compiles our long-running Casebook section of Planning's weekly bulletin and formerly the magazine, which highlights the key appeal and legal decisions from that week.

This week, we will be discussing: 

• Two notable green belt appeal decisions, one of which concerns the new grey belt designation in national policy and the other the new test around brownfield development. 
• Appeal decision trends showing how the new national policy on calculating housing need is causing housing land supply positions to worsen in a number of local authorities.
• A Court of Appeal decision that clarifies how national planning practice guidance carries the same weight as the National Planning Policy Framework.

More information on all these cases can be found in the March edition of Monthly Casebook on Planning Resource.
