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.
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.
