Planning Act 2008 work covers the process for major infrastructure projects and nationally significant infrastructure projects in England. A solicitor in this area helps clients prepare and submit development consent order applications or obtain planning permissions, reviews, and related compulsory acquisition and protections. They advise on the interaction with the Planning Act regime, environmental impact assessments, highway or energy schemes, and how public examinations operate. They coordinate consultation with local planning authorities, developers, landowners and funders, and help protect clients’ interests through legally binding conditions and waivers.
This work involves understanding statutory thresholds, the sequence of examinations, and the interplay between development consent orders, environmental impact assessments, and protective provisions. The solicitor manages applications, drafts and negotiates compulsory acquisition or side-conditions, lodges representations, and negotiates with planning authorities, the Planning Inspectorate and respondents. They oversee the creation of interim measures, ensure compliance with timeframes, and address post-consent planning controls and mitigation requirements.
