Episode Description

In this episode, we get an update about the last 12 months at the Planning Inspectorate from the Interim Chief Inspector, Rebecca Phillips. She also speaks of what's to come in 2026.


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...).

Conference resources can be found on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.


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.
