    Development control covers how planning applications are assessed and decided, including local authority decisions on land use, planning permission, and related obligations. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates planning applications, representations, and planning obligations (section 106 agreements), reviews notices of refusal or conditions, and handles appeals to the Planning Inspectorate. They also advise on enforcement issues, environmental impact considerations, and licencing around development schemes, and may represent clients at hearings and in challenges to decisions.
