About Sasha
For more than three decades, Sasha White KC has combined planning expertise and courtroom advocacy with a genuine interest in the people, places and ambitions behind every case.
Clarity when the issues are complex.
Planning shapes where people live, work, invest and build. Sasha enjoys helping professional teams find a clear route through the legal, policy and commercial questions that sit behind significant development.
Sasha is a planning specialist with particular expertise in public inquiries and High Court work. He advises developers, public authorities, government and infrastructure providers, working as part of the wider team from the outset.
His approach is straightforward: listen carefully, explain difficult issues clearly and help everyone focus on the decisions that will make a difference.
The person behind the practice.
Sasha took four years away from legal practice to be the primary parent for his three children. That period remains an important part of his story and of the perspective he brings to working with clients and colleagues today.
Sport runs through his life. He has served as a non-executive director of the Professional Cricketers’ Association and Kent County Cricket Club, chaired the Home Counties Premier Cricket League, and remains a loyal Arsenal supporter.
He has also run marathons and completed major endurance cycling challenges, including Land’s End to John O’Groats in support of Samaritans.
