    Contentious planning covers disputes over planning decisions, enforcement actions, and the planning process where outcomes are contested. It includes appeals against planning refusals, statutory planning obligations, and challenges to enforcement notices under the Town and Country Planning Act and related legislation. A solicitor in this area represents a client at planning inquiries or hearings, prepares and negotiates evidence including expert reports, drafts grounds of appeal, reviews planning policy and guidance, and liaises with planning authorities, inspectors, or the courts to secure a favourable outcome.
