Mental health and the planning system

Jess Harrold is joined by a panel of leading barristers and solicitors to discuss the impact of mental health when it comes to the operation of our planning system. 

Tracy Lovejoy, senior associate in the planning and environment department, and Joanne Fraser, partner in the Court of Protection department, both at Irwin Mitchell LLP, and Rachel Sullivan and Celina Colquhoun, barristers at 39 Essex Chambers, discuss the ways in which mental health can affect engagement with the planning system, the systems already in place to address these issues, and what improvements could be made to planning in order for it to be more inclusive for those affected.
