We prepare and
submit a large number of applications of all types which include:
- Planning
- Listed Building
- Conservation Area and Article 4
- Certificate of Lawfulness
Where necessary we carry out pre-application
discussions with planners and continue to follow the progress of
applications with the Planning Department, attending planning
committee meetings and addressing the committee on behalf of the
clients.
By a good knowledge of planning law and by
negotiation with Planners we achieve a high success rate with our
applications. If a situation arises where there is a point of law
which requires clarification we have an established relationship
with specialist Planning Barristers.
Clients generally expect us to maximize the
development potential, inevitably there are a few occasions where we
are not able to convince the planners or the committee. In these
cases we are able to prepare planning appeals to the Secretary of
State when required. |
