Planning

Major infrastructure, regeneration and development projects can involve the compulsory acquisition of land and property rights. We advise landowners, occupiers, developers and acquiring authorities on compulsory purchase matters, helping protect interests, secure appropriate compensation and navigate the process with confidence.

Historic buildings and heritage assets require careful management to balance conservation requirements with modern needs. We advise property owners, developers, businesses and institutions on listed building consents, heritage planning matters and development proposalsvinvolving protected assets, helping clients achieve their objectives whilst respectingvregulatory requirements.

Planning decisions can have significant consequences for developers, landowners, businesses and local communities. We advise clients on challenging or defending planning decisions through judicial review proceedings, providing strategic advice and representation in complex and often time-sensitive matters.

Development proposals frequently require obligations to be agreed with local authorities as part of the planning process. We advise developers and landowners on negotiating, drafting and implementing Section 106 agreements, helping ensure obligations are proportionate, commercially viable and aligned to development objectives.
