The 2020 PEBA National Conference will assess the latest developments in planning and environmental law and assess policy and procedure in key areas.
The event will be chaired by Paul Brown QC, Chair of PEBA. The event will be run as a series of pre-recorded talks and papers from leading practitioners at the Bar; a keynote address from The Right Hon Lord Sales, Justice of The Supreme Court and this year the Frances Patterson Paper is being delivered by Lady Justice Andrews. These pre-recorded presentations will all be made available to watch on-demand and will be followed by a live virtual debate with 3 Silks, a Court of Appeal Planning Judge and the PEBA chair.
At the start of a new decade, there are many challenges facing the planning system. A newly elected government has promised a radical change to the planning system and is consulting on ambitious reforms to deliver more housing and infrastructure.
Climate change and the need for serious action in that
regard are key issues for the planning system. The presentations will examine the
latest developments and proposals for environmental law and action to address
climate change as the UK leaves the EU.
The role of local and neighbourhood plans in delivering
housing will be considered, as will the interplay between planning and licensing
regimes and the implications for the night time economy. Leading experts will also consider
the latest government proposals for planning and the environment and assess
whether, what is now proposed for the planning system will deliver, what is
required for the decade ahead.
As well as looking to the future, the event will provide a comprehensive assessment of the key case law over the last year.
