Top 10 of 577 law firms for Planning, Planning Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Planning law governs what can be built and how land is used, including how planning permissions are granted, refused or conditioned in England. A solicitor practising this area advises on planning strategies, prepares and negotiates planning applications, environmental and heritage constraints, and liaises with local planning authorities, developers, and landowners. They represent clients at planning committees and inquiries, and handle appeals to the Planning Inspectorate when permissions are refused or conditions are imposed, or in compulsory purchase matters.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The proceedings hinge on technical assessments of land use, sustainability, and statutory frameworks. The solicitor handles applications, section 106 agreements, environmental impact considerations, and appeals under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, and related legislation, ensuring compliance, managing deadlines, and navigating public inquiries to protect a client’s development or land-use rights.

Jeremy Hodson

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.
