Notes

Planning magazine invites solicitors, consultants, developers and local authorities to nominate barristers who, in their view, exemplify best practice. Barristers are voted for by the same groups – minus barristers, who are not able to vote for their peers. A total of 200 respondents gave their nominations. Only those working in roles that could involve them in commissioning or instructing a barrister or solicitor, and who received an invitation from Planning, were eligible to vote. The invitation list was compiled to ensure results were not skewed by disproportionately high levels of responses from single organisations
