The Planning System covers how land is assessed for use, development, and preservation in England, including local development plans, planning permissions, and enforcement. A solicitor in this area handles applications for planning consent, representations to planning authorities, and appeals when a decision is challenged. They also advise on planning obligations, such as Section 106 agreements, and may assist with compulsory purchase or judicial review where a decision is alleged to be unlawful. The work shapes what can be built and where.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

They draft and submit planning applications, negotiate planning conditions and Section 106 obligations, prepare and present arguments at planning committee meetings or inquiries, and assist with appeals to the Planning Inspectorate. They review development plans, environmental assessments, and enforcement notices, ensuring compliance with national policy (NPPF) and local plans. They may advise on appeals, related litigation, and potential avenues for challenging decisions.

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.
