Ep208: The implications of the scaling back of planning committee decision-making

In this Deep Dive edition, we’ll be taking a close look at two of the biggest current changes to the planning system under the Labour government:Firstly, the scaling back of planning committee decision-making – how are councils dealing with revisions that seek to allow more planning applications to be decided by officers, rather than elected members? And secondly, the new system of local plan making – how some authorities are intending to hit this year’s deadline for submitting plans under the current system, but why others have decided not to do so.Key planning news, and why it is important, brought to you by the team behind Planning magazine, the leading source of independent intelligence for planning professionals for 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.
