From Grey Belt to Grit in the System: Kathryn Joins ‘50 Shades of Planning’ Podcast

Kathryn recently appeared on the “50 Shades of Planning” podcast to join host Sam Stafford for a wide-ranging, informal discussion recorded in the West Midlands, including Birmingham.

In this episode of the popular planning podcast, Kathryn and fellow guests unpacked some of the pressing issues facing the planning system today — from the increasing number of applications driven by Grey Belt policy changes and the “grit in the system” around statutory consultees like water companies, to the complexities of plan-making in the West Midlands and even the challenge of making planning accessible to younger generations.
