Strategic Moves, Summer School Dreams & the Road to UKREiiF

In this lively and thought-provoking episode of Planning After Dark, Radix Big Tent Housing Commissioners Alex Notay, Catriona Riddell, and Jackie Sadek take listeners on a whirlwind tour of the latest developments in planning, regeneration, and local government.

Fresh from conferences and committee rooms, the hosts unpack the current state of play across the sector. From select committee evidence on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill to the evolving landscape of local government reform, no stone is left unturned. The team delves into the power of strategic planning, with reflections from the Building New Communities Conference and an eye on the accelerating pace of devolution.

There’s also a nostalgic yet serious rallying cry for the return of the legendary Planning Summer School - complete with shoutouts to past heroes and current efforts to revive the spirit of sector-wide training and camaraderie.

Looking ahead, the hosts gear up for UKREiiF in Leeds, sharing their plans, panels, and perspectives, including the anticipated launch of the Strategic Planning Group’s report and the much-hyped “MegaPod” crossover with Our World is Local.

Whether you’re a policymaker, planner, developer, or just planning-curious, this episode is packed with insight, energy, and a touch of irreverence. Tune in for sharp commentary, big ideas, and plenty of laughs.
