We are regularly instructed by other firms of solicitors, who require expert assistance on planning law. We can offer high quality collaborative advice to professional clients and/ or their lay clients at reasonable rates. We are happy to provide either direct or ‘white label’ advice, whichever you prefer.
We can support your in-house legal or planning team as required. We are able to provide advice and assistance on the full range of planning law issues. These include negotiating and drafting s.108 agreements, the community infrastructure levy, advising on strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessments, appropriate assessments in relation to habitats and protected species, viability negotiations, enforcement issues, planning appeals, planning conditions and due diligence in property transactions.
Case studies
The client of a law firm had obtained a planning permission subject to the negotiation of a s106 Agreement. The agreement drafted by the local authority contained complex provisions relating to the provision of affordable housing and the investigation and remediation of land contamination. We negotiated with the local planning authority around viability and the proposed agreement, a suitability worded s106 Agreement, was entered into.
Environmental consultants wanted to know whether a proposed neighbourhood plan should be subject to strategic environmental assessment. Harrison Grant provided specialist advice.
