Ep193: Casebook Extra – the month’s key ministerial, inspectors’ and court decisions summarised

This is the eighth edition of our 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: The issues raised by the secretary of state approval of controversial plans to build a new Chinese Embassy in central London; Why an inspector endorsed a council’s own approach to assessing its five-year housing land supply rather than the usual government method; The significance of a High Court ruling that provides clarity on how decision-makers should assess greenhouse gas emissions;And how inspectors and ministers are considering the agent of change principle.More information on all these cases can be found in the February edition 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.
