Planning
A bungled planning process can doom a project from the start and the chances are it will run into snags that drive costs up and profits down.
When embarking on any new project, either as a homeowner or a business, you need reliable and cost-effective legal advice to give you the best chance of achieving your objectives.
We have specialists who understand the intricacies of planning protocol relating to all sectors including agriculture, leisure, retail and mining. And of course, our friendly approach and personal attention come as standard.
The Legal 500 hails our ‘excellent service’ in planning, and notes that we’ve acted in the development of the UK’s largest eco-town – near St Austell in Cornwall - and the largest tin mine in the West of England.
As a fully engaged partner in your scheme, we can provide tailored insights on everything from applications and appeals, to Section 106 agreements, enforcements, judicial reviews, strategic planning and more.
