Notes
The annual Planning Law Survey provides a detailed picture of the most highly rated planning barristers, solicitors, law firms and legal departments working in England today. The survey, which was first published in 1998, invites solicitors, consultants, developers and local authorities to nominate barristers who, in their view, exemplify best practice. Solicitors and law firms are voted for by consultants, developers and local authorities. A total of 191 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 rankings were not skewed by disproportionately high levels of responses from single organisations, and the results weighted to ensure that neither public nor private sector voters were disproportionately represented.
