Frost and ice will greet many of us as we step outside on Tuesday morning ⚠️

There'll be plenty of crisp sunshine to compensate though 🌤️

Thickening cloud in the west with any sunshine turning milky here ☁️

Rather windy near eastern coasts and feeling cold 🌬️🌡️

You have to feel for M&S and @MachinStuart1 following Gove's decision to overturn his Inspector's recommendation to approve the redevelopment of the flagship Marble Arch M&S 😑. It's hard to disagree with his statement - link here: https://t.co/bGkcbh4xcq

Hertsmere (2.25 year housing land supply / 88% Housing Delivery Test score) and Epping Forest (1.15 years / 35%) are stopping families extending bungalows upwards to protect older people.

They could just plan to build some more family homes, of course.

@TandridgeDC Write to the Examining Inspector (attached) requesting a further 3-month delay before a Procedural Meeting, due to committee cycles, summer recess & a new head of planning.

Organisations from across the built environment sector have offered a damning assessment of the government’s new infrastructure levy, warning that the proposed new system will lead to confusion and delivery of fewer affordable homes

@PINSgov Inspector partially allows @JeremyClarkson's appeal at Diddly Squat Farm for an enforcement notice, & a car-park extension and storage.
28-page Decision attached - I never thought I'd see references to people taking selfies on an appeal decision.

100-dwelling @CALAHOMES scheme in the Green Belt allowed in @TandridgeDC. @PINSgov Inspector found that VSC's exist by reason of unmet housing delivery (inc. 40% affordable) alongside sports provision & BNG, in the context of only 1.57 years HLS. https://t.co/ik1rikhYx0

@PINSgov dismiss @BewleyHomes appeal for 140 dwellings in @WaverleyBC, citing significant harm in the form of coalescence between Weybourne & Badshot Lea, despite WBC only being able to demonstrate 3.5 - 4.2 years HLS. #HousingCrisis #planning #rtpi

@michaelgove is to U-turn on his decision to refuse a 165 dwelling @BerkeleyGroupUK scheme near Tunbridge Wells, contrary to @PINSgov Inspector's advice due to it coming to light that his position relied on out-of-date 5YHLS data. @luhc @HomeBuildersFed

@Channel4News @C4Ciaran Very poor journalism @Channel4News, blaming housebuilders. Landowners profit from planning consents due to the fact they *will* be built. There is a natural time lag between consent and delivery. Intervention will only add more risk/uncertainty. @HomeBuildersFed @RTPIPlanners
