    Planning work covers how land and buildings are used, changed or built upon, from submitting planning applications to challenging decisions. A solicitor practising planning in England acts for individuals, homeowners or community groups, and may liaise with a local planning authority, gather technical and environmental information, negotiate planning obligations, prepare and respond to objections, and handle appeals to the Planning Inspectorate if permission is refused or conditions are imposed. The work often turns on deadlines, policy compliance, and the impact on nearby land and communities.

    “I arranged to speak to Andrew Campbell to discuss an on-going domestic issue linked to a property. Throughout the meeting Andrew was attentive, made sure he fully understood the situation, and my concerns, while providing a detailed breakdown of options available to me. At no time did I feel pushed into a course of action. Overall the service I recieved was excellent.”
