PC in 2020: Has the Planning Court proved a success?
Has the Planning Court proved a success? What should be its future, and that of judicial review and statutory challenges in the planning system, in the light of the Faulks review? John Litton QC, Duncan Field, Tim Buley QC, Simon Ricketts and Jenny Wigley discuss.

What should be the role of judicial review and statutory challenges in our changing planning system?
