We will now be doing the live show monthly, every first Thursday of the month at our usual time of 17:00. The live show will continue to feature a special guest interview, as well as the panellists’ thoughts on the months’ hottest topics in the planning world.

In addition to the monthly live show we will also be providing pre-recorded content in between shows, which we will make available via our YouTube Channel, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This will include regular updates on court cases and appeal decisions, as well as occasional specials along the lines of our Planning for the Future White Paper Special which attracted over 15,000 YouTube views and was recommended in a tweet by the White Paper’s sponsor, the Secretary of State for Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP.

This combination of monthly live shows plus additional pre-recorded content is in response to feedback on what format and regularity works best for our audience – we hope you enjoy it!
