Planning

What our planning team do


  • Planning applications for permission to build on land
  • Planning permission for extension to dwellings
  • Planning permission for changing the use of buildings
  • Planning enforcement issues


How our planning team work


Our specialist planning solicitors work closely with the chartered town planners in our in-house planning consultancy.

This holistic approach adds value as we guide you through the complexities of the planning system.

Our team of planning and property solicitors has a wealth of combined experience and acts for a range of public and private sector organisations and individuals.

We regularly support the submission of planning applications and appeals relating to proposals for extensions to dwellings, new housing within existing gardens as well as enforcement issues.

Get in touch by completing our quick form. That way we can ensure the most appropriately qualified person calls you back for an exploratory discussion.
