Commercial development schemes cover planning-led land assembly, site acquisition and project delivery for business, housing and mixed-use schemes. A solicitor in England negotiates and drafts option and promotion agreements, land assembly, s106 planning obligations, community infrastructure levy coordination, and infrastructure agreements, and advises on compulsory purchase implications. They also handle due diligence, rights of light, easements, covenants, financing structures, and risk allocation in joint ventures and developer funding rounds, guiding clients through planning appeals and related regulatory processes.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
They negotiate options, land assembly, planning obligations (s106, CIL), and infrastructure agreements, plus related licenses, easements and covenants. Drafting and negotiating development agreements, joint venture terms, and funding arrangements are typical tasks, alongside due diligence and risk allocation for site assembly, planning consent, and construction. The solicitor coordinates with planners, contractors, lenders and residents, with attention to timing, approvals and regulatory compliance that shape project feasibility.
