We came together in lockdown to raise money for the NHS, have a laugh and hopefully entertain. Each week, the panel discusses the latest developments in planning law and policy from the week. 

We invite a special guest from the most influential ranks of the Planning World, and we host a special topic each week from Garden Cities to Planning Reform.

The views expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the panellists.

There is no charge for the event, but we encourage viewers to make a modest donation to charity, and you can find some suggestions at the link below.
