Ep38: How working from home is affecting council planning teams and what our latest research tells us about councils’ five-year land supply positions

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 take a deep dive into the results of Planning’s latest working from home (WfH) survey, including:

• Is WfH any more prevalent in council planning teams than in private sector planning teams?
• What our survey tells us about how council planning staff feel about the proportion of time they spend working from home
• How is it impacting on service quality?
• What are the potential solutions to the WFH conundrum, that can deliver operational efficiency, plus team working and team development and morale.

PLUS, what Planning’s latest research tells us about how councils’ five-year land supplies have changed since our last report, including which have lost their positions and which have gained.

And we round up some of the other big news stories of the past week.

By the end of the show, you should be more than ready to trade topical planning titbits around the office water-cooler.
