Ep186: Casebook Extra – the month’s key ministerial, inspectors’ and court decisions summarised

This is the seventh edition of our new monthly series examining the key recent appeal and court decisions in which we speak to technical editor David Dewar who compiles Planning's long-running Casebook section. This month, we will be discussing: How exceptional circumstances were found for a 112-home development in a national landscape in Surrey; A controversial inspector's decision that found that a site in the West Midlands could not be considered grey belt because of the presence of a nearby listed church - and how the government has responded; A Hich Court ruling that provides clarity on how planners should assess previously-developed land in the green beltAnd how inspectors are approaching proposals for huge film studios on green belt.More information on all these cases can be found in the November, December and January editions of Casebook on Planning Resource. 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 more than 50 years. Find the latest planning news at planningresource.co.uk and @planningMag Room 106 was the Professional Publishers Association’s Podcast of the Year 2023/24.
