Room 106, the gloomy underground vault where all the latest planning announcements and decisions are issued, to pull out the key information for you. 

This week, we’re going to take a closer look at: 

• The housing secretary Angela Rayner blocking a council’s bid to allocate a site in a special protection area for up to 1,250 homes in its emerging local plan
• A Labour Party councillor losing the party whip after being caught making anonymous online posts defending the council’s proposed release of green belt sites in its local plan
• And the High Court ordering a campaigner to pay £85,000 and a council £9,000 in costs after losing their joint legal battle over a decision to register a set of playing fields as a village green. 

In addition, we’ll be rounding up the other key news from the past week to make sure you’re up to speed on all the goings-on in the planning sector.
