#MHCLG has announced decisions of several shire county reorganisations today. But it's not "featured" on the ministry's GOV.UK page. Kind of important, I would have thought.

15 years of hurt, never stopped me asking....delighted that #MHCLG has confirmed today that we can use survey data from the #EPC dataset to supplement our various services for lenders, landlords and local authorities. This adds detail to the dataset which will … 1/2

I'm loathe to suggest more changes to the planning system but government must ensure developers provide basic infrastructure before homes are occupied. The MHCLG has “rules”… but have you ever seen a rule not be broken?

A green and yellow backdrop with white text that asks "What is the best part about living in Stevenage?" and "Why did you choose to live in Stevenage?" The text "LIVING IN YOUR TOWN" is prominently displayed in the center of the backdrop. The bottom left corner says "NEW TOWN/NOW TOWN". People have written messages on the board.
Handwritten message that reads "Cheapest housing in 1987 -- Fell in love with cycleways..... Still have."
The image shows a map of Stevenage with key locations marked, including the Stevenage Museum, Town Centre Gardens, Football Club, Train Station, Fairlands Valley Park, and Lister Hospital. The map has a header "How do you get around Stevenage". Lines have been marked on the map to show different journeys.
A poster asking people to "choose your transport" so they can map their journey on the map. A car symbol is linked to green yarn, walking to purple yarn, bus to red yarn, and cycling to yellow yarn.
We were delighted to attend the Government's #MHCLG New Towns listening event today to share our experience of #Stevenage as the first new town, while plans are being developed to build more towns. Great to see that the variety of ways people travel were actively recorded! Thanks for the invite 🙏
I’m refusing to read the new #MHCLG planning reform discussion paper until tmrw. We went to South Norwood Country Park instead. Was nice. Did get stuck in gridlock on way back due to the Crystal Palace FA Cup celebration parade. In hindsight perhaps wasn’t the best day to visit!
Over on the other place, #MHCLG is *still* posting this image of a #car-dependent, low-density, #unsustainable north American suburb to illustrate the '1.5 million new #homes' message.
Lots of people have commented on how inappropriate it is.
It's a tiny detail.
But so telling.
The research I conducted for #MHCLG - Sustaining Success in Parks - is now available.

The research explores successful methods of working for #parks teams, using @islington-council.bsky.social & @leedscitycouncil.bsky.social as studies. #urbangreenspace

In Birmingham at a joint #LandRegistry & #MHCLG #DigitalPlanning workshop for local authorities.
Really looking forward to sharing how we have been trying to join up data collection and sharing… and yes #OpenData…

If so, this role with the Office for Place (part of the #MHCLG) might be of interest. ⤵

This 🤯 The biggest barrier to #retrofit and #heatpumps not the format of the #EPC or #greenfinance*, it is that #GovUK, #MHCLG and #DESNZ keep telling consumers that carbon doesn’t really matter. 1/2
Given how crucial #OpenData and #DataStandards are going to be in the brave new world of #PlanningReform, especially building solid foundations for #StrategicPlanning and #Devolution it's a good time see what the digital land team #MHCLG have been up to: digital-land.github.io/blog-post/st...
