South Northamptonshire Council’s planning committee has granted planning permission for 410 homes, subject to the completion of a section 106 agreement for developer contributions.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) is committed to bringing to the market a £3 billion portfolio of projects, including renewables, waste and construction; planting 60 million trees; and reducing emissions from Scotland’s railways to zero by 2035.

The audience at a recent RTPI and Transport Planning Society (TPS) event has heard how transport planning should be seen as the solution to issues as varied as air pollution, the climate crisis and obesity.

The Conservative Party has announced that it would make the planning system ‘simpler for the public and small builders’, support modern methods of construction, and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 if it wins the forthcoming general election (12 December).
