I know that Planning can often be very pedantic ( I admit to being guilty of that myself on occasion)... but a trip to Morrisons and trying to walk from the trolley store to the shop entrance today gave a little reminder as to why it's always a great idea to check everything works the way you want it to on paper BEFORE building 🤔🤯

Submitting planning applications requires use of a huge amount of client data - much of which is sensitive and protected. Data protection laws in the UK were updated in June 2026 so it was a great time for a refresher of the Regs. Many thanks to Sonnos for an informative and readily accessible course to ensure that at KS Town Planning we continue to keep out clients data safe ✅️

📢 Nine local councils have today been placed into 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 by the Government, including Epping Forest. This means that major (10+homes) planning applications can now bypass those local councils 🚫 and be submitted directly to the Planning Inspectorate.

❓️Is this an indication that the Government will deliver on its house building ambitions? 🏠

❓️Are Applicants better to stick with a local submission, or move straight to PINS 🤔

☎️ Do get in touch if you would like to discuss

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has stripped Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) of the sole local right to determine major planning applications.
