    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.
