Stephenson Harwood's planning law team has prepared a short series of articles containing practical insights, based on our recent experience of advising on applications for planning permission and other consents.
The articles in the series consider:
- the common pitfalls with planning applications and how they can either be avoided or the associated risks mitigated;
- how tricky highways issues that intersect with the planning system can be overcome; and
- the legal aspects of the preparation of an Environmental Statement and the recent changes to the rules on Environmental Impact Assessment.
As planning lawyers, we get involved with a large number of applications for planning permission to enable development to proceed. As part of our role, we:
- check that applications comply with the myriad of planning and environmental rules;
- suggest improvements so that the applications can be validated and subsequently determined quicker; and
- highlight inaccuracies or omissions that may otherwise lead to a successful claim for judicial review or difficulties with implementing the scheme.
