Planning Delays and Construction Disputes

Planning Delays and Construction Disputes

If you are undertaking a construction project, it makes obvious commercial sense to ensure that of all things, planning does not derail your project.

Planning delays and refusal of planning permissions can have obvious and significant consequences for construction projects.

Common issues include:

    • Delay to commencement of a project due to unresolved planning conditions
    • Funding for a development ultimately withdrawn following refusal
    • Disputes arising over which party will bear the risk in the even that planning is delayed or refused
    • Costly planning appeals and ultimately construction adjudication

Mercantile Barristers has established expertise in construction disputes and construction adjudication. We understand how planning risk interacts with development agreements and contractor obligations.

Integrated advice at an early stage can protect commercial interests all around and reduce exposure to costly delays that lead to wasted time and therefore wasted costs.
