Planning and Environmental

When you are dealing with local authorities on planning issues, whether for your home or a property for your business, you need practical legal advice to allow you to move forward. We help clients to stay on the right side of the law by providing advice which prevents conflicts and other problems arising.

If you are faced with a notice from the planning authorities, this often indicates the start of difficulties for a project which can be alarming. We can help you to respond correctly to mitigate the situation and protect your position, which will ensure minimal impact on your development.

There is growing awareness about the effect of building projects on the environment and commercial and residential developers need to be aware of their liabilities to prevent substantial and costly implications. You can draw on our experience to identify potential problems and therefore minimise your project’s exposure to risk.

We can help you with:

  • Planning applications
  • Planning and enforcement appeals
  • Objections to planning orders
  • Certificates of lawfulness
  • Section 106 obligations
  • Responding to being served with notices
  • Environmental matters

Contact us if you would like a free initial appointment to discuss any
of these issues.
