PLANNING

When you have plans to develop your land, you may be eager to start building as quickly as possible. You might also be apprehensive about securing the necessary planning permission in the first place. This vital consent from the local authority will ensure your development isn’t put on hold or stopped all together. With an ever-evolving planning system, this area of law is increasingly complex, which is why legal advice can make your application process much easier.

COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING SUPPORT

You may be in the initial stages of seeking permission and need advice on potential contentious issues. Perhaps you are concerned that your plans could pose risks to the environment or you could have your application declined and need guidance on how to proceed next. Or further down the line, you may need to secure infrastructure and highway agreements, or your finished build could come under planning scrutiny.

You may be a neighbour impacted by development proposals, wanting to ensure that your concerns are properly considered.

With in-depth knowledge of the complex local and national policy and legislation surrounding the planning system, our legal experts can guide you through any obstructions to your development proposals. Working collaboratively with planning consultants, land agents and architects, we will suggest practical recommendations based on your commercial objectives.
