Planning Advice

Questions on planning law arise in many areas of real estate activity – due diligence and investigation of title, development and of course in cases of enforcement.

Our real estate team all have many years of experience in developments in planning law and can advise on the legal position regarding existing development and planning uses.

Questions of compliance can arise at various stages of transactions. It is important for us to know our clients’ requirements for the future use of properties or businesses which they are buying, so as to be in a position to foresee potential problems and find solutions for them.

If, however, specialist advice is required on a contentious or potentially difficult planning situation or practical advice is needed in connection with applications for particular works or changes of use, we have available the services of specialist planning consultants.

This close partnership is of particular benefit in relation to licensed property.
