50 Shades of Planning
50 Shades of Planning was Sam Stafford’s attempt between April 2019 and October 2024 to explore the foibles of the English planning system and it's aim was to cover the breadth of the sector both in terms of topics of conversation and in terms of guests with different experiences and perspectives. 50 Shades episodes include 'Hitting The High Notes', which are a series of conversations with leading planning and property figures.

The 50 Shades of Planning Podcast and YouTube channels were produced in partnership with Cratus Group. Why Fifty Shades? Well, planning is not a black and white endeavour.
