For the 1st time in 20 years, #Labour have won an overall majority in #Medway. Conservative Leader, Alan Jarrett, has laid much of the blame for the party’s poor results on the performance of the Gov. & the unpopularity of its planning policies & housing targets at a local level.

The Government’s Spring #Budget dominates the news headlines today and includes a number of positive planning related initiatives and commitments. DHA's David Harvey highlights the key points in his latest blog... dhaplanning.co.uk/knowledge/…

Michael Gove has recommitted the government’s commitment to build 300,000 homes every year, with new developments being “more beautiful”, have the consent of local communities, and being accompanied by the right infrastructure. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
