What is planning need and how is it assessed by the P&E Court?

Planning need is a concept imbedded in both the Planning Act 2016, along with planning case law. But what does this actually mean?

This seminar will seek to answer the following questions:

• What does the term planning need encapsulate and how is it assessed by the Court?
• What does planning need not include?
• What type of expertise are best suited to giving evidence around planning need?
• What are the considerations given by the Court in assessing planning need?

The discussion will also cover any relevant case law.
