Room 106, the gloomy underground vault where all the latest planning announcements and decisions are issued, to pull out the key information for you.  This week, we’re going to take a closer look at: • The housing secretary Angela Rayner giving the Chinese embassy two weeks to “comprehensively” explain why new building plans have been redacted • A planning inspector concluding that a council’s net zero requirement in a 2,200-home garden village plan is “consistent with national policy” more than two years after previous inspectors claimed that the strategy’s approach conflicted with a written ministerial statement. More • A local authority urging applicants to avoid “chasing” its planning team for updates as part of an action plan to tackle a 1,700-case backlog • And an inspector allowing an appeal over plans for an extension to a weapons factory that a council refused against officer advice due to “community cohesion” concerns  In addition, we’ll be rounding up the other key news from the past week to make sure you’re up to speed on all the goings-on in the planning sector.
