Key planning news, and why it’s important, brought to you by the team behind Planning magazine, the leading source of independent intelligence for planning professionals for 50 years. planningresource.co.uk @planningMag.

In this bonus episode we’ll explore key Bill amendments agreed in December and their implications for landowners, developers and authorities. Amendments discussed include: 

• Measures intended to speed up build-out of permissions, including giving councils the power to decline to determine applications from applicants who have been slow to implement previous permissions; and the right for councils to require developers to provide progress reports on their projects 
• A requirement for water companies to upgrade sewage works to unblock permissions
• New powers to allow ministers to "repeal and revoke" planning legislation
• PLUS further details on street votes, community land auctions, and changes to self-build rules

A transcript of the podcast will be available to download from Planning's website.
