As we end the current season, for this episode, we’re doing things a little differently. We have all the Latest News and Case Updates from the team. Instead of the regular guest interview, we have a plethora of videos from our inaugural Have We Got Planning News For You Live Conference, which took place at The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in London on the 1st of December 2025.
These are being released gradually in the run-up to the next major news item, the New Revised National Planning Policy Framework. We will of course be releasing a special as soon as we can after its release, so please subscribe to be notified when it’s available!
