Preparing for Planning Inquiries

Planning barristers Jenny Wigley QC and Zack Simons discuss how they prepare their teams (and themselves) for planning inquiries – from the early stages, through to drafting statements of case, assembling a team, finalising proofs of evidence and preparing for cross-examination.

The discussion includes practical tips for practitioners in both the public and private sectors – from those with years of inquiry experience to first-timers. It also considers the implications of virtual inquiries for how these cases are prepared and managed.
