Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.
Who did the salute better?

Bannon or Musk?

Sam spot on as always. I've spent 35 years planning in Cities and can't recall ever coming across a brownfield site where the principle of development was a show stopper.

Pleased to reach the half way point of our Local Plan Examination yesterday. 10 years in the making, 4 consultations, Covid, 35% uplift.....it's a long haul. The team have been amazing in their application and efforts. 3 weeks to catch up on actions and the day job before we go again in November

Great to hear @samuelstafford.bsky.social and others talking again on public sector planners pressure on open.spotify.com/episode/0IGK....

Interesting that the majority of consultant and HBF planners at the #Leicester Local Plan Examination last week were ex-leicestershire council policy planners

A busy #planning week. 1st 3 days of #Leicester Local Plan Examination and a surprisingly tense Planning Committee- £22m Stations sheme approved after much scrutiny and debate. I am so proud to be part of a great #planning team at #Leicester City Council.
