No5 Barristers’ Chambers Planning Group and Town Legal LLP delivered a joint presentation at Colony in Manchester on Wednesday evening, with a focus on the positive actions for securing grants of planning permission and Local Plan allocations in the next two years.
Kathryn Jump and Lisa Tye covered planning applications, the new NPPF and legislative reforms, and the causes for optimism, notwithstanding the scale of complexity and pace of change.
Leanne Buckley-Thomson explored planning appeals, the changes to new procedures and particularly when to proceed to appeal in cases of non-determination.
James Corbet Burcher examined the New Local Plan process and the importance of building a strong evidence base for the call for sites process.
