Webinar
Covering a range of topical issues led by our team of planning and compulsory purchase specialists.
Join us for a pop up webinar in our 2026 Planning and Compulsory Purchase webinar series. 24 July 2026 is a landmark date for the DCO regime, with the statutory requirement for pre-application consultation falling away.
Sarah Sutherland will be chairing the webinar and Julian Boswall and colleagues will be discussing the key themes arising from the consultation and other changes to the DCO process.
This has been a central feature of the DCO regime and its removal opens up flexibility and opportunity for promoters in their approach to consultation. New strategies will need to be tailored to project circumstances and be mindful of parallel EIA workstreams and landowner engagement for compulsory acquisition purposes.

Overlapping consents
In the second webinar of our 2026 Planning and Compulsory Purchase webinar series, our team focussed on overlapping consents.
Our hosts covered the topic in three different contexts: overlapping planning permissions, overlapping DCOs and overlapping DCOs and planning permissions. They also explained the difficulties that can arise in the scenarios, and strategies for de-risking and resolving these, with reference to caselaw and recent experience.
