The Daily Decision Digest

A short daily briefing on the most significant planning appeal decisions in England — for planners, inspectors, agents, lawyers, barristers, and developers. Each edition highlights a curated selection from the appeals AppealBase indexed that day, with context on what mattered and why.

Every working day

A concise email every day — covering new decisions, headline counts and themes.

Curated, not exhaustive

We pick the appeals worth your attention — housing supply, green belt, enforcement, heritage, and other issues practitioners are watching.
