What legal issues do I need to know?
Planning permission for residential development is a complex and important area for anyone who is going through the process. Whether you need planning permission to build an extension to your house or are thinking of a larger-scale residential development, there are many hoops through which you have to jump.
You will have to deal with planning authorities and may well have local political considerations, depending on which political party controls the Local Authority. You will also have to comply with the complex laws and regulations that apply to residential housing.
Among other issues, your barrister will be able to advise you on:
- planning applications and consents
- changes of use
- planning objections
- planning appeals
- Local Authority procedures
- listed buildings and building regulations
- enforcement notices
