Planning & Environment

Several members of the team are nominated to act on behalf of The Highways Agency in matters relating to road schemes.  We retain memberships of the Planning and Environment Bar Association, the Administrative Law Bar Association and UKELA.  Two of our silks are Assistant Boundary Commissioners.

Chambers UK 2010:

"One could not find a more reliable and personable set of people; their commitment to cases and attention to detail is quite extraordinary." So state interviewees of what is without doubt the finest planning set in northern England. "It provides an incredible breadth and depth of experience, combined with a detailed working knowledge of planning issues arising in the Midlands and the North." This reputation is thanks not only to an exceptional raft of barristers, but also to what is commonly perceived as an outstandingly efficient level of clerking at the set. As one client stated, "we hold everyone here in exceptionally high regard, and have not found it necessary to look beyond Kings in the 20 years that we have known them."
