Planning applications and appeals cover how local areas decide on new buildings, changes of use, and major land use plans. A solicitor in this field drafts or reviews planning applications, negotiates planning conditions, and handles compulsory purchase considerations where necessary. They represent clients before local planning authorities, respond to consultations, and may appeal decisions to the Planning Inspectorate. The work involves assessing project impact, timelines, and potential enforcement steps to secure or defend planning permission.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles complex planning proofs, environmental assessments, and compliance with planning conditions, including potential appeals. They manage statutory time limits, interact with planning officers and inspectors, and interpret planning policies, development plans, and legal remedies. Their task is to coordinate evidence, prepare submissions, and negotiate outcomes that align with statutory requirements and client objectives.

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.
