Helping you navigate planning disputes
From refused permissions to High Court challenges, we help clients resolve planning disputes efficiently and effectively. Our team brings deep sector knowledge and a practical, commercial approach to every case — whether you're appealing a decision, defending a development, or responding to community rights claims.
Turning planning refusals into progress
We support clients through the full lifecycle of planning appeals — from initial advice to final decision. Whether you're facing a refusal of planning permission, an enforcement notice, or a rights of way dispute, we assess the merits of your case, advise on evidence, and manage the appeal process end-to-end. Our team also advises on Secretary of State call-ins and drafts robust planning obligations and conditions to support your appeal.
Challenging decisions that don’t stack up
When planning decisions are flawed, we help clients challenge them in the High Court — and defend those challenges when needed. Our team provides clear advice on the prospects of success, prepares all necessary documentation, and supports clients through hearings. We work closely with you to ensure your case is presented with precision and strength.
Protecting land and community interests
We advise on the complex legal frameworks around Town and Village Green (TVG) registrations and Assets of Community Value (ACV). Whether you're seeking to register land or responding to a nomination, we assess the legal position, prepare evidence, and support you through inquiries or tribunal appeals. Our experience ensures your interests are protected and your case is clearly made.
