'Excellent planning set' Landmark Chambers is home to 'a strong and deep collection of barristers with expertise in housing, planning and other commercial development matters'. The team has a solid track record in advising on a broad spectrum of complex planning matters, often appearing in high-profile planning disputes. David Elvin KC appeared before the Supreme Court in a case involving a challenge to the environmental assessment of planning permission for an oil extraction project and the impact of downstream effects on the environment. Jenny Wigley KC is 'quick-thinking and agile in her advocacy', while the 'decisive' Heather Sargent 'advocates with clarity and precision'. In a boost to chambers, Sasha Blackmore KC and Zack Simons KC both took silk in March 2025.
