Why choose our Real Estate planning lawyers?
Navigating planning regulatory landscapes will involve different routes for different clients. Whether a project involves mixed-use development, regeneration, infrastructure, natural resources or land assembly, we take the time to fully understand the context and our client's objectives and bring in the necessary expertise from across the firm to deliver the best possible result.
Our specialists guide clients through the often complex planning aspects of real estate transactions, providing strategic advice as well as supporting them through disputes, litigation, infrastructure planning and environmental issues.
We are experts in strategic and masterplan advice, promoting major schemes, compulsory purchases, planning and highways agreements and highways and transport issues.
We also have extensive expertise in environmental impact assessments, listed buildings and conservation areas, enforcement, appeals and judicial reviews.
