This work covers planning and environmental law in England, including securing planning permission, negotiating planning obligations, defending or challenging development proposals, and responding to enforcement actions. It involves issues such as listed buildings, conservation areas, habitat protections, and environmental impact assessments. A solicitor drafts planning applications and statements, negotiates conditions, represents clients at planning committees and at the Planning Inspectorate, and may bring or resist judicial reviews or statutory challenges.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles statutory frameworks such as the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning Act 2008, and the National Planning Policy Framework, alongside environmental regimes like the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations and pollution controls. They prepare and present planning arguments, review environmental assessments, and manage interactions with local authorities, developers, and government bodies to protect a client’s development interests.

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.
