Planning Permission for Homeowners

Planning Permission for Homeowners

If you are a homeowner, and looking to do work on your property, the most common projects that require planning permission are extensions, loft conversions or changes of use.

Planning law for residential property is not always straightforward, particularly where:

    • The property is located in a conservation area
    • Permitted development rights have been removed
    • Neighbours object on amenity grounds
    • The property is listed

We provide written advice on:

    • Whether planning permission is required for your particular project
    • Prospects of success of your planning permission application
    • Responding to objections from neighbours and other interested parties to your project
    • Appeal rights following refusal of planning permission

Preemptive advice can prevent costly redesign and delay. Where appropriate, we can work with you and your architect to ensure that the submission that you make has the strongest possible prospect of success.

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.
3

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.
