Slightly unusual Thursday lunchtime for me today. Was lovely to catch up with @morphetminor.bsky.social, @samerb.bsky.social, Liz Peace and others. And many congratulations to the winners; including Samantha McClary.

A little reminder of growing up in the 80s. My 13 year old is a big fan.

Early start to get to the Gov annual planning conf in Leeds today. I’ve been asked to talk about ‘planning for large scale housing growth’ but I will be very consciously talking about large scale new communities. #planning #placemaking

Am back in Malvern for a couple of days and have spotted this gem for sale… Just wondering how I could get it back on the train.

Final day of LGA conference. Been a busy few days - lots of discussions on @thetcpa.bsky.social stand about new towns, planning for climate change, and the need for healthy homes. Also went to the Cratus disco last night!

At a @jrf-uk.bsky.social and @prospectmagazine.co.uk panel discussion on bold steps needed to deliver affordable homes. Interesting to hear about experiences in Finland and Spain. In the former they have almost tackled homelessness through continued investment in state subsidised affordable homes.

Thank you to @cprecountryside.bsky.social for hosting an interesting discussion this morning about how to diversify housing delivery. Very much enjoyed the venue as well. A little green oasis tucked away near London Victoria.

I’m refusing to read the new #MHCLG planning reform discussion paper until tmrw. We went to South Norwood Country Park instead. Was nice. Did get stuck in gridlock on way back due to the Crystal Palace FA Cup celebration parade. In hindsight perhaps wasn’t the best day to visit!
