Strategies for planning projects
意图d morePlanning
Strategic approach
Undertaking major real estate projects or land development activities requires identification of approval requirements and the risks involved in obtaining approvals. Strategies are needed to efficiently progress assessments and applications. The potential of climate change laws and policies as well as commercial opportunities to mitigate GHG emissions need to be considered in the structuring of a project. Before buying land or committing to a project, due diligence needs to be carried out to help ensure the environmental constraints and liabilities are identified, assessed and can be efficiently managed.
Extensive planning offering
Our team of dedicated planning experts provides advice on all aspects of planning law. Working across the public and private sectors, we advise on complex regeneration and infrastructure projects, including major mixed-use development schemes, retail development, high-value residential schemes and landmark office developments. Our services include providing strategic planning advice, dealing with all aspects of planning and infrastructure legal agreements, advising on environmental impact assessment, viability, promotion of compulsory purchase orders and compensation claims and inquiry, tribunal and litigation work. Our cross-sector experience allows us to anticipate opposing viewpoints to provide solutions-focused advice.
