We have considerable expertise in planning law. The planning applications which we handle range from major property developments to simple home extensions. Acting for developers, we can provide a full range of planning services, from identifying which consents are required, to preparing and submitting the planning application and applications for other consents, handling negotiations with the local planning authority and drafting and settling any necessary planning agreements, handling highways issues and appealing against planning and other refusals.

We are also able to provide advice to those objecting to planning applications submitted by others.

We also handle and advise on applications for listed building and conservation area consents as well as building regulations consents.

It is sometimes possible to obtain certificates of lawful use or development for changes of use or works which were carried out in the past without obtaining the necessary planning permission. We have had considerable success in obtaining such certificates for clients over the years.

We work closely with our licensing team in handling applications for licences for licensed premises such as pubs, restaurants, wine bars, nightclubs etc.
