Planning: Housing Need and Land Supply: The Good, the Bad, and the Methodology

Kings Chambers Podcast

Episode three of the popular Kings Chambers planning podcast discusses the effectiveness of the PM’s pledge to streamline the planning process.
Kings Chambers planning barristers Sarah Reid and Philip Robson are joined in the studio by planning experts Matthew Spry from planning and development consultancy Lichfields and Russell Crow, Regional Director at Richborough Estates, a strategic land promotion business.

The gathered participants share their views on changes to the standard method of assessing housing need and the Housing Delivery Test, the annual measurement of housing delivery, the likely outcome of the consultation, the likely implication for those submitting applications and the arguments at inquiry, the approaches of inspectors and the advice being given to clients during this confusing time.
