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.
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.
