Planning Barristers

Landmark Chambers is the UK’s leading set in planning law. Landmark was named 'Environment & Planning Set of the Year' at the 2009 Chambers Bar Awards and is recognised as the Top Ranked Set in planning by Chambers & Partners 2010 directory. “When it comes to planning, there is only one set in London that can be considered truly exceptional. It's common knowledge that Landmark is the finest planning chambers" (Chambers & Partners 2010)

The group is led by no fewer than 17 silks whose names are synonymous with the country’s most high-profile cases in this area. Arsenal FC’s Emirates Stadium, Renzo Piano’s Shard of Glass Tower, and The Nelson Mandela Statue are just a few of the names that have featured in our diaries recently, and when a team of barristers was needed to promote Europe’s largest civil engineering project, Crossrail, Landmark was the clear choice.

Our “unrivalled breadth of experience and quality at all levels” (Planning Magazine) means that we are the first port of call for all aspects of planning law in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, no matter how big or small the development, including:

• planning appeals
• enforcement appeals
• development plans
• minerals
• waste
• highways and infrastructure
• nature conservation and habitats
• sustainability and climate change
• environmental impact assessment
• strategic environmental assessment
• planning prosecutions
• compulsory purchase and compensation
• countryside issues
• commons, village greens
• rights of way
• Parliamentary work
• professional negligence

Whether you seek a barrister to appear for you at a planning inquiry or hearing, would like advice in writing or in conference, or need representation in a judicial review challenge, or before a Parliamentary committee, we are “the set of choice” (Chambers and Partners). Moreover, Landmark’s expertise in public law, property law and environmental law makes us uniquely placed to advise on the many planning cases that overlap with these areas.
