Local Plans Do's & Don'ts
The panel of David Manley QC, Gary Grant and Constanze Bell, chaired by Philip Robson, consider the do's and don'ts of local plan development. Recent months have seen too many plans fail the duty to cooperate, fall at examination due to unsustainable urban extensions/garden villages or run aground on the Strategic Environmental Assessment. The team give their view on how these hurdles can be overcome, what impact CV19 will have on plan-making and policy, and the importance of always starting early.
