Planning due diligence in England covers assessing what planning constraints, permissions, and risks affect a property transaction. A solicitor reviews existing planning consents, development commitments, potential enforcement issues, and any non-compliant use or breaches. They draft or negotiate conditions, advise on Section 106 obligations and cumulative effects, check permitted development rights, and identify risks from appeals or compulsory acquisition that could affect the deal.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor identifies planning risks that could stall or alter a transaction, clarifies what is permitted by current consent, and explains how planning conditions or obligations may bind the client post-completion. They handle negotiations around planning-related covenants, assess enforcement risk, and outline practical steps to mitigate the impact of planning constraints on the buyer or developer, including timing and potential mitigation strategies.

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.
