    Development Services in England covers the planning and related oversight involved in bringing commercial or mixed-use projects from concept to construction. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates planning agreements, completes due diligence on site planning history, advises on planning policies and compulsory purchase implications, and coordinates with local planning authorities, statutory consultees, and developers to secure planning permission and associated approvals.
