Welcome to the first edition of Russell-Cooke’s planning law update of 2025.

In this edition, our specialists provide expert commentary on the ever-evolving planning landscape.

In our recent insights, we explore the complexities surrounding Section 106 agreements, examine the High Street Rental Auctions regime and its potential to bring the high street back to life, and provide the latest updates on the M&S Oxford Street redevelopment. We also discuss the issues at play in CLEUD applications following a recent case in which the team secured CLEUD approval for a mobile home conversion in West Sussex.
