If you were prime minister for a day, what would you change? Victoria Du Croz speaks to React News.

Head of Planning, Victoria Du Croz, had the opportunity to answer this very question, when she spoke to React News.

Commenting that she would firmly focus on increasing funding to local planning authorities, she said “to enable compulsory training to all planning committees so they have a better understanding of the statutory basis for determining planning applications.”

This, Victoria says “would reduce the number of decisions overturned on appeal or through judicial review and would lead to greater faith in the local decision-making process both from members of the public and developers.”
