The Planning Podcast

How local authorities are approaching thir ambitions for 'Net Zero'. What are the implications of the Covid crisis on the Climate crisis? Richard asks Nina Pindham to give an overview of the legislative duty to achieve 'Net Zero'. What progress are Birmingham making in their 'Route to Net Zero' and what can be learnt from Nottingham City Council?

Richard Kimblin QC and his guest Christian Hawley, planning and environmental barrister at No5 Chambers, discuss Covid-consequences as seen early in the first lockdown. The Planning Podcast looks at: recession, small builders, small housing sites, policy changes post the 2008 liquidity crisis and the 2010-12 series of dips in growth; affordable housing and levers to spur economic activity, shore up housing numbers and meet delivery tests. All of this was pre 'Build, Build, Build' and pre 'Planning for the Future' but it remains very much the context and backdrop for what we are experiencing now - Christian's crystal ball!
