Webinar: Statutory Survey Powers Under the Housing and Planning Act 2016

A webinar examining the recent High Court judgment in Barstow and Others v Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited [2026] EWHC 1698 (Admin). The judgment is the first to examine the regime in the round, including: who must be given notice and how; whether notice runs with the land; the level of detail required in a notice; the meaning of "reasonable time" for entry; human rights considerations; and data protection. Emyr Jones and Claire Nevin, who acted for the parties in the litigation, summarised the judgment. Caroline Daly (Chair) and Rebecca Clutten then discussed the wider implications for developers, acquiring authorities, landowners and advisers involved in projects requiring statutory access for surveys.
