Local Government Lawyer


Holborn Studios council meetings, consultation and access to documents

In two judgments in 2017 and 2020 on the Holborn Studios site the High Court made important rulings on fairness, access to documents and lobbying councillors. Richard Harwood QC, Celina Colquhoun and Victoria Hutton discuss the rulings.

Details

The three go discuss the following:

  • When fairness requires reconsultation on amendments to planning applications
  • Legitimate expectation and the disclosure of documents
  • Publication of viability assessments and background documents
  • The right of the public and developers to contact councillors
  • Fairness and process in an age of virtual meetings
