In this episode, newcomer to the show Victoria Hutton of 39 Essex Chambers considers the recent Planning Practice Guidance changes and how the sequential test is affecting development. The sequential test is a process used to assess flood risk by comparing a proposed development site with other available sites to ensure it is located in an area with the lowest risk of flooding. Featuring ducks and puddles!

This is a series of specials from the inaugural Have We Got Planning News For You Live Conference, which took place at The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in London. We will have a new episode every weekday right up until the publication of the new revised NPPF (which may or may not release around the 18th of December...).

Have We Got Planning News for You is a light-hearted review of the month's latest developments by six barristers from across the Planning Bar: Paul Tucker KC, Thea Osmund-Smith, Sasha White KC, Charlie Banner KC, Victoria Hutton and Christopher Young KC.
