Ep28: How the government is responding to the backbench levelling-up bill rebellion, and what our latest survey reveals about the UK’s planning consultancy market in 2022

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 we’ll explore:

• How the government is proposing to change the planning system following the backbench Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill rebellion
• The ministerial moratorium on onshore wind development in England is also apparently over – we look at how the government intends to change the status quo
• And the secretary of state’s consent for the Cumbrian coal mine – how did Michael Gove justify his approval

PLUS in our Deep Dive section we’ll be exploring what we learned from our Planning Consultancy Market Report, which we began publishing last week.

AND in our readers’ choice section, we discuss the news that a draft local plan is citing the 2021 census results as a reason to cut provision for 1500 homes.

By the end of the show, you should know enough to win the office planorak of the year contest.
