Loathe though we are to unnecessarily return to 2020, it is the time of year where we have a brief look back of the number of public consultations we saw in the previous year, and who was the most prominent consultor. This data is compiled from our database which monitors all Government consultations- at this […]

Hearken ye, and, on the Christmas when mixing and mingling is largely frowned on, listen to the tale that shocked the nation and became a morality play. It is said that St Dominic stood on a lofty perch, and held himself in the highest esteem. His words were feared, even when understood. His hinterland was

The controversial Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) saga continues this week… LTN is a scheme where motor vehicle traffic in residential streets is significantly reduced by minimising the amount of traffic that comes from vehicles using the streets to get to another destination. In the past month, we have reviewed the legislation behind temporary traffic orders, looking at how easy

This week saw the publication of the long-awaited energy white paper, probably the most comprehensive overview of how the Government plans to clean up the British energy system and achieve net zero by their 2050 deadline. By our reckoning, no fewer than eight energy related consultations are to be anticipated in 2021: On whether it’s

As we’re now at the end of the year, I thought we might take the opportunity to go back through my near-meticulously kept (everyone’s allowed one tautology a year), spreadsheet which covers all mentions of consultation in the Westminster Parliament. Starting next year, we should have a new and improved system that also better covers

This morning saw the Supreme Court judgment on R (Friends of the Earth) v Heathrow Airport Ltd [2020] UKSC 52 overturning a Court of Appeal ruling that declared the Government’s designation of its Airports National Policy Statement (NPS) unlawful. The 2019 judgment was largely because the Minister was judged not to have taken account of

We’re nearly there ladies and gentlemen. Where? Well that’s up to you. Perhaps you’re someone eagerly waiting for the sigh of warmth and comfort that is Christmas at the end of a very difficult year. Perhaps you’re a desperate politico, who is keen to stop reading the menus of last-minute Brexit-resolving meetings. Perhaps you’re a

This week we saw judgment being handed down in the case of Tomkins v City of London Corporation [2020] EWHC 3357 (Admin), a challenge to the validity of an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) on Beech Street in the City of London. This traffic order was used to close Beech Street to through-traffic (other than zero-emission
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

It is sometimes curious which consultations make most of a splash in Parliament, and the reasons they do so can be wide and varied.
