Our expertise
Our planning consent and advisory services can help you through the planning minefield and provide peace of mind that every detail has been considered.

We can carry out legal audits on planning applications and environmental impact assessments and ensure your planning permission application is as robust as possible.
As well as ensuring the permission itself is deliverable, our highly skilled team can assist you in putting in place planning agreements alongside your permission which work for you and are commercial. Contentious planning permissions are often challenged and if things don’t go to plan, we’ll provide advice and support for your appeal or judicial review strategy, so we’re with you every step of the way.
