EP66: Planning expert and qualified barrister David Kemp joins me to discuss one of the most confusing areas of property development. We talk about the recent changes to planning legislation and the possibility of a centralised government planning function that could speed up the process, provide more continuity and finally push the local authorities to spend the CIL payments sitting in their coffers. David also weighs in on land and rental values for commercial and businesses and his view on the possibilities for our high streets and retail premises.
