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 investigate new government proposals to further ease rules for converting high street premises to new uses. We look at:

• The proposals involve auctioning new uses for vacant sites – how would the process work?
• What part would the new permitted development (PD) rights play in the auction process? 
• How widely would industry commentators expect such rights to be used?
• Some commentators have raised concerns about the possible impact on pubs – what are they worried about?

PLUS we summarise the other big news stories of the past fortnight.

By the end of the show, you’ll be able to face questions from a client or chief executive with equanimity.
