Top 10 of 577 law firms for Prior Approval, Planning Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Prior Approval work covers developments allowed without full planning permission but requiring the planning authority to assess specific issues first. In England, a solicitor in this area helps clients navigate the prior approval regime under the General Permitted Development Order, draft and submit information, and respond to consultations. They review the proposed development against the criteria set by the planning authority, assemble supporting reports, negotiate conditions, and, if needed, handle appeals or determinations. They liaise with local authorities, consultees, and sometimes the Secretary of State.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the provisions and conditions that must be met to obtain prior approval, what information must be provided, and the consequences if approval is refused or granted with conditions. They identify non-compliant elements, help gather environmental, highways or design evidence, and ensure deadlines and procedural requirements are met within the permitted development framework.

Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Sam and his team for their outstanding conveyancing work. We purchased property with annex in Mid-Devon and Sam provided us with an excellent service. His eye for detail and his thoroughness meant no stone was left unturned. Sam worked relentlessly on our transaction and made sure all elements were considered before proceeding to the exchange of contracts. Sam went above and beyond and spent more hours on our case than anticipated. Their fees were competitive and in all fairness, Tozers provides great value for money. Sam’s communication style is clear and he kept us informed each step of the way. We felt we were in safe hands and when dealing with the vendor’s solicitor, Sam was always proactive and adhered to the timelines. This is now the fourth time I have used Sam as my conveyancer, and I wouldn’t want to be represented by anyone else. Sam is an expert in dealing with complex transactions, especially potential issues related to listed building status, planning etc. We also had to consult Tozers’ planning department for advice and again, they were excellent. So, if you are looking for a fast, professional and transparent service then look no further. I can highly recommend Sam to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.
