Neighbour Planning Disputes
Planning disputes between neighbours often arise well before any permission has been granted and where a proposed development affects privacy, light or outlook.
Common issues include:
-
• Large rear extensions that block light or overlook into your property.
• Any aspect of the proposed development that may affect your foundation or the structural integrity of your property
• Side return extensions close to boundaries
• Change of use affecting residential amenity
•Any aspect of the propsed development that reduces the value of your property or affects your ability to sell your property if approved
We advise on:
-
• Drafting formal objections to propsed developments
• Legal arguments relating to material considerations
• Challenging the grant of planning permission where appropriate

How Our Process Works
Instructing our direct access barristers is the cost effective alternative to the traditional route of engaging a solicitor first. The process is just as straightforward. Here’s how the process works:
1
You Have a Legal Problem?
You can call, email, or fill out an enquiry form to tell us about your case. One of our specialist clerks will speak with you to make the arrangements to advance your case.
2
We Have the Barrister for You.
Our specialist clerk will match you with the barrister with the expertise to deal with all aspects of your case. They will also obtain and organise the papers the barrister will have to consider in your case.

Initial Consultation
Our clerk will agree the fee for your consultation with the barrister beforehand. The clerk will then arrange a convenient time for you to have the consultation by video call, telephone or in person.
In the consultation the barrister will assess your legal position, devise a legal strategy, and give you appropriate advice on the necessary next steps to achieve your objective.
