    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.

    “Michelle and her team in the conveyancing department, as well as Niall, from corporate and commercial, are simply outstanding. I would highly recommend them: professional, meticulous, and genuinely committed to seeing your case through to completion. I had a particularly tricky set of sales involving a complex legal issue, and the entire team at Hawley and Rodgers was brilliant. They went to bat on my behalf, ensuring my interests were fully represented at every stage. Thanks to their efforts and dedication, the case was successfully resolved—something that simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
