Our dedicated Planning team offers clients a complete planning advice service. The team includes members of the Royal Town Planning Institute as well as qualified lawyers. Their experience includes working for local planning authorities, developers and consultancies, giving clients the benefit of a unique multi-faceted perspective on planning issues.

The team has cross-sector experience but is particularly focussed on housing, leisure, financial services, renewable energy and minerals.

We can make planning applications, submit appeals, act as advocate at committees, hearings and inquiries, and submit objections and other representations to applications and policy documents. We provide legal opinions and make applications for certificates of lawfulness including preparation of evidence. We are particularly experienced in drafting planning obligations for developments of all sizes.

We are client focussed and understand the frustrations that all parties to the planning process experience. We are interested in achieving positive outcomes for our clients through negotiation if at all possible. We deal with local planning authorities throughout England and Wales on a daily basis.
