What's Have We Got Planning News For You about?

Have We Got Planning News for You is a light-hearted review of the last two weeks developments by five barristers from across the Planning Bar: Paul Tucker KC, Mary Cook, Sasha White KC, Charles Banner KC and Christopher Young KC.

We invite a special guest from the most influential ranks of the Planning World, and we host a special topic each week from Garden Cities to Planning Reform.

The views expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the panellists.
