I am now six weeks into the role, and have had an incredibly warm and kind reception. The team at the RTPI is fantastic – from the staff to the legions of volunteers.
The government has announced a minimum of £14 million of funding to support local authorities with local plan-making. This new funding will be available to eligible authorities producing plans in both the legacy and new plan making systems.
