The team at Adams Hendry has considerable experience of acting as the expert town planning witness at public inquiries and assisting clients and legal advisors in the preparation and running of inquiries. As an expert witness our role is fundamental to either making the case for a proposal or ensuring that policy supports our clients requirements. Issues on which evidence is regularly given include the need for the project and the alternative proposals that have been assessed in project development.

Our thorough pre-inquiry preparation is crucial to putting forward a robust case at the public inquiry, examination or hearing. 

Our experience extends beyond town planning legislation to include public inquiries and tribunals held under a wide variety of acts including:

• Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) • Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
• Highways Act 1980
• Transport and Works Act 1992
• Harbour Act 1964 (as amended)
• Land Compensation Act (1961)
