Ep49: The government’s proposed new high street permitted development rights, Labour’s plan for cheaper compulsory acquisitions and the grants threat to neighbourhood planning

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 is proposing to further extend permitted development rights for high street premises – we’ll explain what’s under consideration.
• The Labour Party has said it intends to allow councils to compulsorily acquire land for housebuilding more cheaply than they can at present – we’ll explore what that might mean.
• And consultants warn that the future of neighbourhood planning 'hangs in the balance' due to uncertainty about a key grant programme.

PLUS we’ll summarise the other big news stories of the past fortnight.

By the end of the show you’ll be in prime position to host the next office planning quiz.

A transcript of the podcast will be available to download from the Planning website shortly.
