Update: 2025-09-03
Description
Room 106, the gloomy underground vault where all the latest planning announcements and decisions are issued, to pull out the key information for you.
This week, we’re going to take a closer look at the latest twist in the ongoing legal and planning battle between the government and an Essex council over the use of a hotel to house asylum seekers, which on Friday saw the Court of Appeal reverse a High Court injunction in an unusually scathing ruling. We'll also discuss:
- Reports that the government is considering a new planning bill;
- And the High Court quashing a council’s consent for a self-build home over a planning officer's “error of law”.
In addition, we’ll be rounding up the other key news from the past week to make sure you’re up to speed on all the goings-on in the planning sector.
