Planning for schools: academy and free school planning appeals

What are the tactics for defending school planning appeals where a free school or academy is promoted by the Secretary of State for Education and planning permission is refused (or an application is undetermined) by the local planning authority? Lisa Busch QC, Harriet Townsend, Ryan Kohli and Rowan Clapp discuss.

This webinar will cover an update on law, policy and recent cases; issues that typically arise in school planning appeals; the presentation of evidence; and how local authorities can best present their case before an Inspector. The webinar is addressed to local planning and education authorities, as well as planning consultants and others who participate in school planning appeals as expert witnesses or interested parties.
