Congratulations to Lord Banner KC on being named the leading planning silk in The Planning Law Survey 2026 for the second year running. Planning consultants describe him as “down to earth” and “exceptionally strategic and commercially minded”.
In an outstanding result, Charlie also tops all three sector tables: Retail; Commercial; and Residential, making him number one across all four categories in this year’s survey.
The “Best Barristers” section of the survey is available here. Many congratulations to all the well-deserving silks and juniors ranked this year: https://www.planningresource.co.uk/article/1961076/best-barristers-2026
