This work covers how towns and countryside are planned and shaped through local and neighbourhood planning processes in England. Solicitors in this area help clients with drafting and challenging development plans, managing planning applications, and navigating appeals when decisions are disputed. They work on securing permissions for projects, negotiating with local planning authorities and developers, and advising on obligations under planning agreements, such as section 106 contributions and community infrastructure levy considerations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the technical details of plan preparation and use of planning policies, and their implications for development control, as well as reviewing and negotiating planning obligations, planning appeals, and changes of use. They interpret statutory and policy provisions, timelines, and the role of Inspectors, and coordinate input from authorities, developers, and third parties to support a client’s position across plans, applications, and appeals.

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.
