This area covers planning control and housing provisions affected by the Housing and Planning Act 2016, including applications for planning permission, planning appeals, enforcement, and housing-related planning measures. A solicitor in this field drafts, negotiates and submits planning applications, negotiates planning obligations (section 106 agreements) and affordable housing requirements, responds to enforcement notices, and guides clients through compulsory purchase and related compensation processes, often interacting with the Planning Inspectorate and local planning authorities.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work involves drafting and negotiating planning obligations and conditions, reviewing or defending enforcement notices, handling planning appeals and judicial review risk, negotiating compulsory purchase orders where relevant, and coordinating with statutory bodies to progress housing and regeneration schemes. It requires understanding statutory frameworks, local plans, and the interaction between housing policy and planning control.

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.
