Ep144: How the government is seeking to change the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and a row over a local plan examination

This week, we will be discussing:

• The government’s amendments to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
• Estimates of the bill's economic impact and concerns about its proposed changes to environmental rules.

In addition, we will examine:

• Why a planning inspector has found that a council’s local plan has failed the legal duty to cooperate, and why the authority has reacted with anger.
• A High Court ruling upholding a consent for 133 homes that clarifies when a planning application is formally ‘made’.
