Planning is all about seeing the big picture
This is equally true if you are making or objecting to a planning application, or appealing against an enforcement notice or a refusal of planning permission. The big picture is gained by asking some pertinent questions: how strong is the planning authority’s case? Is it supported by national or local policy? Is the application or appeal likely to succeed? Are there any precedents locally or nationally?
A 3600 view
As a lawyer with nearly twenty years’ experience of planning law and practice I have gained the ability to see the case from all angles and perspectives. I have been employed by a planning authority as its in-house solicitor, and I have a number of local authorities as my clients. I act for applicants and objectors. I prosecute and defend planning cases in the magistrates’ court and appear in support of and in opposition to planning appeals at inquiry. I have advised magistrates and councillors in planning cases.
All this is yours
