Room 106, the gloomy underground vault where all the latest planning announcements and decisions are issued, to pull out the key information for you. 

This week, we’re going to take a closer look at the latest twist in the ongoing legal and planning battle between the government and an Essex council over the use of a hotel to house asylum seekers, which on Friday saw the Court of Appeal reverse a High Court injunction in an unusually scathing ruling. We'll also discuss: 

• Reports that the government is considering a new planning bill;
• And the High Court quashing a council’s consent for a self-build home over a planning officer's “error of law”.

In addition, we’ll 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.
