Welcome to the second edition of Russell-Cooke’s planning law update of 2024

In this edition, our planning experts discuss potential changes to the UK planning system proposed by Labour following their recent election win, as well as the likely impact of the new Biodiversity Net Gain requirement, effective from February 2024, on planning permissions and change of use applications. 

We also shine a spotlight on a recent case where a development was not built in accordance with approved plans, and recount a recent appeal win for a Certificate of Proposed Lawful Use and what it means for those considering changing the use of their property.
