Obtaining speedy planning decisions and staying ahead of the game are vital to landowners, developers, local authorities and residents. The area can be a wrangle of red tape and regulations and whichever side of the fence you’re on – applying for or opposing a planning application, you will benefit enormously from our long-established planning experience and robust advice.

We have an experienced team of lawyers who can deal with all of the following

  • public inquiries into planning and enforcement appeals
