Top 10 of 577 law firms for Section 38 Agreements, Planning Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Section 38 agreements are planning obligations made under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 that secure developer contributions toward infrastructure and facilities as a condition of planning permission. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates, and registers these obligations, often through a deed of agreement or planning obligation linked to a planning consent. They may liaise with developers, local planning authorities, utility providers and landowners to ensure enforceable, properly worded covenants that protect both the client’s interests and the public realm as development proceeds.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The complexity lies in drafting legally robust conditions, tying obligations to specific development milestones, and aligning with planning permissions, associated plans, and any related land interests. The solicitor ensures enforceability against successors in title, coordinates with planning policy requirements, and manages potential disputes over breach, variation, or termination of the obligation, including registration and discharge procedures.

Tagged solicitor Samuel Reid

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.
