The headline focus of the Council is a presentation by IHBC member and Barrister Dr Charles Mynors who will offer members his unique knowledge of the changes to legislation in Wales and how lessons might be learnt across the rest of the UK. Charles’s long-standing involvement in planning law reform resulted in an invitation to join the Law Commission in 2016, where he was the principal author of its Consultation Paper and Final Report on Planning Law in Wales and he has been working closely with the Welsh Government to produce a new suite of simplified planning legislation.
