How are local plans responding to the NPPF policy shift of Dec 2023? I am quoted, with @mtpennycook + @HomeBuildersFed by @oliver_wright in @thetimes looking at 15 recent draft LPs. thetimes.co.uk/article/cc0ec4… (£) A @LichfieldsUK blog will shortly unpack (watch this space)
The third edition of Start to Finish - @LichfieldsUK’s award-winning and oft-cited research on the time it takes for build out of large-scale housing sites - has been released. lichfields.uk/content/insigh…
An opinion piece in @thetimes today from yours truly, gassing on about why a brownfield-first policy can’t mean brownfield-only. thetimes.co.uk/article/buildi…
Amidst the noise about Tuesday's brownfield policy change, it's easy to miss that BNG was formally introduced on Monday. @LichfieldsUK has an online resource lichfields.uk/biodiversity-n… to guide through the requirements and this blog signposts the key points lichfields.uk/blog/2024/febr…
Next week’s proposed changes to national planning policy… because life isn’t worth living without changes to the NPPF on the horizon. thetimes.co.uk/article/48d06d… (£)
Write up in @housing_today on 'Marking your own Homework': the latest @LichfieldsUK research which looks at the approach to five year reviews of Local Plans. housingtoday.co.uk/news/five-year…. Original research here: lichfields.uk/marking-your-o…
Happy (Alpine) New Year
It's never a good time for planning consultancy naval gazing, but... pleasing to see @LichfieldsUK - driven by employee-owned organic growth - well represented in the @PlanningMag Survey, at or near the top of the tree in all our regions and sectors planningresource.co.uk/article/185081… (£)
I’m quoted - talking strangely about lead in pencil - in this @PlanningMag piece on the Secretary of Stare’s interventions in Local Plans. planningresource.co.uk/article/185118…
Very pleased to see further growth of the @LichfieldsUK London team as we build on another successful year: jobs.theplanner.co.uk/article/lichfi…
Interested in the idea of a plan for England? Then listen to four people (@samuel_stafford, @CatrionaRiddel1, Jim Steer & Ian Wray) provide good insight, while I plug the gaps with my vacuous nonsense. Was pleased to participate in this episode of the #50shadesofplanning podcast

My wild, stab in the dark comments on how Labour’s emerging planning policy is focused on an early boost to housebuilding makes it into @PlanningMag. Link here planningresource.co.uk/article/184451…

Lost for words. "Terrible" is a good start. Moving homes from one sector to another doesn't create more homes. Privately rented homes have higher occupants per room than do owner occupied. As we get richer we demand more housing. We have much less of it than comparable countries.

@mspry_ @LichfieldsUK @THELPDF As a Head of Planning with a Local Plan that will be over 5 years old in February 2024, I can confirm from practical experience the reality of this research. We would have formally started our review over 18 months ago, if we had any certainty of the rules.
You don’t tend see the ‘-on-Tyne’ suffix much these days. Was once quite common - ‘Walker-on-Tyne’ etc On a related note it’s Newcastle upon Tyne (no hyphens), and Stockton-on-Tees (hyphenated).
Imagine that
The @CommonsLUHC Select Committee has published the report on its investigation into Planning Reform: committees.parliament.uk/publications/4…. It is not terribly complimentary about the direction of the Government’s current policy proposals. 🧵 1/9
