Hopes for engagement boost
Virtual planning meetings could still be used post lockdown as part of efforts to boost public engagement.

Meetings, which were previously required to be held in public, can now be run online using video applications which allow people to watch, listen and contribute.
Minister Geoffrey Boot says it’s a positive step forward:
