At Roythornes, our planning solicitors in Nottingham have one goal in mind: to help land and property owners complete their development projects with ease.

Working alongside builders, developers and local authorities, we take a commercial and practical approach to what can sometimes be a lengthy and complex area of law.

Planning Law: the basics
Whether you’ve got plans to renovate property to sell or you’re looking to construct new housing altogether, the success of your project will be determined by planning laws and restrictions from your local council. Before diving head first into a significant investment, it’s vital to seek advice from a property professional to identify how planning law will impact your project. Recent changes to the Growth and Infrastructure Act in 2013 have made it easier to obtain planning permission – particularly for minor developments, however, legal advice from your specialist planning solicitor in Nottingham will help ensure that your proposed property projects are compliant with legislation and do not ignore any restrictions imposed by the local authority. That way, your chances of having to go through the appeals process will be minimised.
