At least attempting to update the HA would be a start

Or shotgun weddings

The desire for bottom up solutions will lead to some weird arrangements for those left to catch up with the existing SAs.

I’ve got two weeks off 😀

Does that mean we’re getting NPPF, diet NPPF, NPPF zero plus all those other niche flavours?

White land is a planning term for land and buildings without any specific proposal for allocation in a development plan where it is intended that the existing use shall remain.

Such a waste.

Or rather econimbyism in this case. The better response would be to argue for raising building regs to deliver higher standards (which it has been doing the last few years and FHS will continue) given that’s a controlled / regulatory regime unlike planning

Isn’t the UK ETA only checked by Border Force not by the Civil Guard?

Couldn’t she leave Spain on Spanish passport, enter Uk on Uk passport, exit Uk on Uk passport and re-enter Spain on Spanish passport? If she’s able to hold both?

A pair of fifty shades of planning mugs

And now has been safely delivered thanks Sam

As Treasury are an unreliable partner the best solution for Leeds is to raise the cash themselves. Then they can cut the scope any business case right down, and get on with it now rather than in 10/15/45 years time

I’m disappointed it’s not level 4, I guess there’s always next year

Could be worse still, we could all be working on final budget details on Valentine’s Day…..

It’s all part of the MPs supercouncillor role
