    Planning matters cover applications for planning permission and related approvals for building, change of use, or major developments, along with enforcement actions under the Town and Country Planning Act and associated legislation. A solicitor practising in this area advises on strategy, drafts and submits planning applications (including planning statements and design and access statements), negotiates planning obligations, and represents clients in representations to local planning authorities and in appeals to the Planning Inspectorate or in judicial reviews when decisions are challenged.
