1 Kings ChambersPlanning2024 | Band 1 | 4 Years RankedKings Chambers remains the pre-eminent set for planning expertise in the North of England and attracts a wealth of praise from instructing solicitors. Barristers at the set handle complex planning appeals and inquiries, and are adept at acting for both appellants and local planning authorities. Members of Kings Chambers handle everything from objections to residential developments, to compulsory purchase matters and listed buildings issues. A source describes Kings Chambers as an "exceptional chambers with counsel who have detailed knowledge." Notable recent instructions include acting for York University on a Local Plan Examination seeking large-scale green belt release.
