Top 10 of 10 law firms for Permitted Development Rights, Planning Law | Southwark, London

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Permitted development rights cover short-cut planning rules that let certain building works or changes of use go ahead without a full planning application. In England, these rights are set out mainly in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the General Permitted Development Order, as amended. A solicitor practising in this area helps clients assess whether a proposed change qualifies, prepares and submits prior approval or lawfulness-of- development requests, reviews planning conditions or prior approvals, and advises on potential objections or appeals if a local planning authority says no. The work often hinges on precise thresholds, time limits, and specific site characteristics that determine whether development can proceed without full planning permission.
