Top 10 of 577 law firms for Planning Consent, Planning Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Planning consent covers securing local authorisation to carry out a proposed development, and dealing with conditions or changes to plans. A solicitor practises by preparing and submitting planning applications to the local planning authority, negotiating with planners and consultees, and arranging planning obligations under section 106 or highway agreements. They advise on policy constraints, rights of way, and enforcement risks, and handle any appeals to the Planning Inspectorate if permission is refused or conditions are contested. The process is shaped by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the relevant planning policies, prepares the application or amendment, coordinates supporting statements, drawings and environmental impact considerations, negotiates planning obligations (section 106), and responds to third-party representations. They advise on time limits, procedural steps and potential outcomes, and represent the client at inquiries or hearings before the Planning Inspectorate. Professional involvement is grounded in statutory procedures, regulatory accountability, and the need to align development with policy and statutory requirements.

Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Sam and his team for their outstanding conveyancing work. We purchased property with annex in Mid-Devon and Sam provided us with an excellent service. His eye for detail and his thoroughness meant no stone was left unturned. Sam worked relentlessly on our transaction and made sure all elements were considered before proceeding to the exchange of contracts. Sam went above and beyond and spent more hours on our case than anticipated. Their fees were competitive and in all fairness, Tozers provides great value for money. Sam’s communication style is clear and he kept us informed each step of the way. We felt we were in safe hands and when dealing with the vendor’s solicitor, Sam was always proactive and adhered to the timelines. This is now the fourth time I have used Sam as my conveyancer, and I wouldn’t want to be represented by anyone else. Sam is an expert in dealing with complex transactions, especially potential issues related to listed building status, planning etc. We also had to consult Tozers’ planning department for advice and again, they were excellent. So, if you are looking for a fast, professional and transparent service then look no further. I can highly recommend Sam to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.

I would just like to thank Amy Richardson for her professional help in preparing a UU for a self build from our first conversation and all the follow up to finally achieving outline planning permission Amy's advice and expertise were invaluable.
