In this episode, developers hoping to get the go-ahead to build 184 new homes near Darnhall in Cheshire have a fight on their hands. Nearly 600 local residents will stop at nothing to derail the scheme and save one of the last remaining greenfield sites within their town boundary.

In Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, the pressure is on for the architect and planning consultant. He has to get planning approval to extend a Turkish restaurant in time for the busy Christmas period, but can he pull it off? Show less
