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:

• The government has published more details of its proposals for replacing the section 106 agreements – the deals setting out how much developers will contribute to the costs of affordable housing and infrastructure needed to support their schemes. What are the implications for developers (and the title of our podcast)?
• Last week saw chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s first Budget – we’ll explore the implications for planning 
• And housing secretary Michael Gove has named the developers that could face “planning prohibitions” for not signing his contract to fix unsafe buildings

PLUS 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 for any awkward car journey to a site meeting with the boss.
