This area covers criminal offences related to planning and development, such as illegal building, unauthorised works, and breaches of enforcement notices under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and related regulations. A planning solicitor advises on investigations by local planning authorities, represents clients at magistrates’ courts, negotiates with the planning authority, prepares witness statements and expert evidence, and may help apply for discharge, variation or appeal of planning notices.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Planning offences carry serious consequences if proven, including fines and remediation orders. A solicitor’s professional oversight provides regulated conduct, access to professional indemnity insurance, and rights of audience in appropriate tribunals or courts to challenge or respond to enforcement actions and prosecutions.

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.
