Planning

You won’t be daunted by the complex and ever changing legal framework governing the planning system when you’re working with us. You’ll benefit from our understanding of the policies and guidance at a local, regional and national level.

We have extensive expertise in all aspects of town and country planning in both the contentious and non-contentious fields.

In addition to helping you work within the statutory and regulatory planning regime, we can advise on development opportunities for land, providing planning advice at an early stage of any development process. You’ll welcome our proactive approach to obtaining planning permission including providing representation at planning appeals.

Our expertise also covers Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO), acting for both the developers requiring the CPO and acting for third parties objecting to the proposals.

We can also keep you keep abreast of all the changes to the planning regime, the implications of these changes and how best to promote any proposals within the new Local Development Framework process.

The 2012 edition of legal directory Legal 500 comments on how the team "handles an impressive variety of planning work".
