Jury on trial
Article Abstract:
Citizens' juries have been used on a trial basis by eight local health authorities and six local councils in the UK to hear evidence and produce guidance on a wide range of issues. In the planning sector, such bodies serve to bring direct public participation into planning decisions. They may work to the advantage of developers, reducing the risk of schemes being rejected by politicians. These juries produce highly respected advice, and this is unlikely to be rejected by a planning committee.
