Planning for the Future- CPRE publishes open letter opposing proposals

Article /

The Government’s Planning for the Future consultation has drawn a lot of attention from across many different sectors, much of it critical of the proposals to undertake significant reform of the English planning system. The Institute itself held a round-table on the topic, and the debate there informed our own response to the consultation which […]

Lambs to the slaughter? The most previewed consultation finally appears…

Article /

It is sometimes curious which consultations make most of a splash in Parliament, and the reasons they do so can be wide and varied. Most often, they appear frequently because opposition parliamentarians are chasing up what they see as missing consultations or responses (the shared prosperity fund, online harms etc), sometimes because politicians are unhappy

Article /

The Coronavirus pandemic has had widespread effects across society, and nowhere is this being felt more keenly than in the justice system.

Judicial review on the Sikh census tick-box; lots for consultation specialists to consider

Article /

Does it matter if the number of Sikhs in the UK is 430,000? Or over 700,000? The Sikh Federation believes it does and has pursued the matter for years, trying to persuade the Office of National Statistics (ONS) that its 2021 census should offer people the chance to declare themselves as Sikh in terms of ethnicity rather

The Week in Parliament

Article /

The big news in Westminster this week was the Chancellor’s spending review, although as with almost everything at the moment it was rather taken over by circumstances, and hasn’t made quite the splash we might usually expect. But we won’t be talking about that yet. Unfortunately, I’ve not yet had time to go through it

Earlier this year we reported on the case of Article 39 v Secretary of State for Education, a challenge brought by the children’s rights charity Article 39 to the Adoption and children (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020. The case went to appeal, and this week we received the judgment, and it could be one of the most significant consultation cases we’ve

The PM’s Ten Point Plan for climate change: Blueprint, Wish-list or agenda for consultation?

Article /

Boris Johnson’s Ten-Point net-zero plan for climate change emerged this week and promptly got a bad press from all quarters. Maybe it’s unfair, and tough on someone who has just removed his long-standing top advisor, planned a ‘re-set’ at 10 Downing Street and promptly got confined to barracks by the Test and Trace system. Parts

The ‘Permitted development’ case: When can you break a promise to consult?

Article /

Three weeks ago in the Week in Parliament, we discussed the debate around the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2020 (and a variety of related orders).
