This work covers how developers obtain planning permission and handle related planning obligations in England, including pre-application advice, submitting planning applications, negotiating planning conditions and Section 106 agreements, and pursuing planning appeals when a decision goes against the developer. A solicitor in this area prepares and negotiates planning applications, assessments of environmental impact, and related documents, liaises with local planning authorities, and represents the client in negotiations and at hearings or inquiries before the Planning Inspectorate. The process is shaped by the National Planning Policy Framework, local plans, and statutory planning processes.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Developers often face tight deadlines, complex planning requirements, and binding conditions. A solicitor handles the due diligence, negotiates planning obligations, drafts and reviews planning agreements, coordinates with highways authorities and other consultees, and prepares for appeals or judicial reviews to protect the developer’s position.
