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 episode: 

  • The government has proposed allowing councils to raise their planning application fees by up to 35 per cent this summer, but only if they agree to a wider range of performance metrics – we’ll explain what planners need to know 
  • Sir Keir Starmer has said a Labour government would change the planning system as a ‘first step’ – we’ll explore what is known about the party’s intentions for planning
  • The Court of Appeal has ruled that local planning authorities may take account of a wide range of factors when considering prior approval applications for upward extensions to properties. We’ll look at the implications

PLUS well also round up some of the other big news stories of the past fortnight

By the end of the show, you should be more than ready to trade topical planning titbits around the office water-cooler 

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