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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the detailed provisions, procedures and interactions involved in planning applications, conditions, and planning obligations, as well as the complex interplay between local plans, policy guidance, and potential appeals or challenges. They work with planning authorities, developers, landowners, and consultees to navigate statutory requirements and procedural steps that affect land use and development rights.

Tagged solicitor Jeremy Hodson

Jeremy provided us with excellent legal services in a complex transaction purchasing a property in Berkshire. The previous owners had run a business from the property but had not applied for change of use back to completely residential when the business closed down. Together with planning applications that could not be proved by the owners, this led to a complex legal situation. Jeremy was very helpful and knowledgeable and very fast in his responses which was really appreciated. It all led thankfully to a successful completion.
