Planning
Simplify securing planning permission with our comprehensive advice.
Before your project gets off the ground, you’ll have to navigate the planning process.
We make planning applications, lodge appeals, act as advocates at committees, hearings and inquiries, and submit representations to applications and policy documents.
With vast experience working for local planning authorities, developers and consultancies, our multi-faceted perspective means you’ll benefit from a clear vision on your planning issues. Our team includes Royal Town Planning Institute members, as well as qualified lawyers, and we’re particularly adept at drafting planning obligations for all sizes of developments.
