This work covers applications for planning permission, permitted development and listed‑building consent, negotiating section 106 obligations and other developer agreements, defending or making enforcement appeals, and handling compulsory purchase and nationally significant infrastructure consents. Solicitors draft and submit planning applications and appeals, prepare environmental statements and viability evidence, negotiate planning conditions and legal agreements with local planning authorities, instruct and manage consultants, represent clients at planning committees and public inquiries, and bring or resist judicial review in the High Court. The National Planning Policy Framework and local plans frame decision‑making and the Planning Inspectorate handles many appeals.
