@DanielTRobson @ScarColl @HelenEmmett21 @MissMoylerPE Will had a great time, thanks @DanielTRobson @ScarColl @HelenEmmett21

A wonderful trip to the Yorkshire Dales with our Year 9 @ScarColl Geography students. 🌍 Stunning autumn sunshine and great company too @HelenEmmett21 @MissMoylerPE ☀️

Delighted to have assisted @cpre_ney and a community group in defending a refusal by @northyorksc for a proposal for new dwellings on the outskirts of Richmond on a prominent site impacting the #historiclandscape setting of the town @PINSgov agreed! #appealdismissed #planning

Surely this is the best possible outcome ..... Controversial #Cumbriacoalmine plan thrown out by High Court judge - Well done all involved! @friends_earth and @slacctt yhttps://news.sky.com/story/coal-mine-high-court-judge-throws-out-project-in-whitehaven-west-cumbria-13213816

Having worked in all sectors, I find Rohan Silva's comments insulting. Well done @RTPIPlanners for your response. Planners I work with care about the environment they are creating even when frustrated by successive Governments changing policy priorities. #plantheworldwelive

No need for any country to issue new oil, gas or coal licences, study finds, when countries stick to promises to deliver net zero by 2050. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

This is the right decision for our protected landscapes. x.com/planitpres/sta…

Pleased to have secured #planningpermission for a lovely couple needing annexe accommodation. A contemporary designed building complimenting the traditional dwelling whilst allowing multi-generation living on site and retaining a 100+ yr farming business #planning #centenaryfarm

Thoughts? Will @_Government_UK @10DowningStreet @grahamstuart follow suit? #solarenergy #agriculture #farming #rooftoprevolution @UKWarehousing @CPRE_NEY @cpre @saveoldmaltonc1 pv-magazine.com/2024/05/07/ita…

For the second time! BBC News - Government defeated in High Court over climate plans bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

#Neurodiversity awareness is important to @kvaplanning. The ideas, creativity and skills brought to the table by #neurodivergents are incredibly valuable insights in order to truly #plantheworldweneed We celebrate those in this community ALL the time, not just this week.

NEWS: Awarded consent yesterday.

We will remember them.

This really important video relates to the need for respect in the profession launched by the @RTPIPlanners as part of their #ittakesplanners& campaign marking #worldtownplanningday - Please watch! Being a planner is hard work but can be hugely rewarding youtu.be/B9FZ3PbQ07M?si…

Fantastic result for campaigners in Old Malton, @northyorksc Members refused planning permission stating that solar developments should be on rooftops, commercial sites or poor quality land. Not on our best food growing land. Congrats! @saveoldmaltonc1 @cpre_ney @CPRE

@cornerstonebarr Good luck Jack!

Jack Parker appears in the #HighCourt today in a case concerning the policy requirements for a mixed-use site. The Court will decide whether the Mendip Local Plan Pt 1 requires a specific quantum of floorspace for employment uses to be delivered on site. cornerstonebarristers.com/barrister/jack…

Have to say this 'how to make planning sexy' actually sounds good!! #goingfullcircle #plantheworldwelive #sexyplanning #placeshaping x.com/o_o_c_t_p/stat…

Interesting opinion piece in Planning today from Jonathan Porritt "Planning is based on a ‘massive lie’ about sustainability, and Gove is the ‘liar-in-chief’" planningresource.co.uk/article/183766…

Fantastic write up by @cornerstonebarr regarding the duty to be placed on the SOS and Planning authorities to have #specialregard to #climatechange in planning decisions, potentially outweighing other material considerations. #planning #LURB cornerstonebarristers.com/special-regard…
