More jargon has entered the British planning dictionary- @yimby (Yes in My Backyard) originating in San Fransisco & now in the UK - @pimby (public housing over market rate development) bring it on I say !

@KERB_ great inspiration for the food hall we are planning in Boscome - amazing food, groovy music and all independents! #bournemouthtownsfund

@artsbythesea brilliant sound and art installation on the beach- I love people watching at these things ! Certainly draws lots of people here. Shame it’s being dismantled !

Fewer people cycled in BCP last year compared with pre-pandemic https://t.co/IQTuw4MJFF

[Martha Covell MRTPI @eca_cic]

@harrychaplins @nrthdrst_macman @Bournemouthecho Similar thing happened elsewhere in BCP- so don’t think it’s a Boscombe thing !

Excellent article- if we could plan positively for more homes we could drive down prices and build greener

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

They argue that housing shortages are caused largely by laws that control who can build what and where. Zoning and planning laws, they say, are so strict that building new housing is slow, difficult and expensive https://t.co/JaACI6Zb5X

Looking to build a #greenhome in 2020? In 2019 we were lucky enough to design and oversee the building of one of Dorsets 1st #passivhaus. This homes does not need heating!

@nationaltrust have been published new guidance on incorporating heritage into #neighbourhoodplans. The Guide helps communities identify & safeguard local heritage.

This will be useful for the Design Guide we are preparing in #ilminster which complements our NP policies.
