    Development work covers planning and delivery of major sites, infrastructure and commercial premises, from assembling titles to negotiating planning obligations and securing consent. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates planning agreements, secures restrictions and rights of way, reviews title due diligence, and coordinates environmental, highways and housing contributions. They liaise with local planning authorities, developers, landowners and lenders, and ensure that planning conditions, covenants and permissions align with project timetables and funding needs.

    “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lauren Ainsely at Boyes Turner on a particularly complex set of development legal matters, and I can confidently say she has been outstanding throughout. From the outset, Lauren brought clarity, structure, and a calm, solutions-focused approach to what could easily have felt overwhelming. Her ability to navigate intricate legal issues while keeping everything moving forward efficiently has made a significant difference to our project. She communicates clearly, is always responsive, and takes the time to explain options in a practical and commercially sensible way. What really sets Lauren apart is her proactive mindset and attention to detail. She anticipates potential challenges before they arise and handles them with professionalism and confidence. In an area that can often feel slow or overly complicated, she has been a genuine breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone dealing with development-related legal work. Her expertise, reliability, and approachable manner make her an invaluable advisor.”
