Planning & Environmental

Planning laws are fast-changing, so securing proper advice in relation to your development
proposal is critical.
Hewitsons’ specialist Planning & Environmental team advises developers, public bodies,
contractors, investors and landowners on the application of current planning legislation and
policy. We work quickly, effectively and collaboratively to commercial timescales and budgets.

Our planning and environmental specialists work closely together, combining expertise to enable
us to deal effectively with projects where the disciplines overlap, such as those relating to
ecology or pollution.

Our planning experts deal with all aspects of planning law and include experienced advocates
who handle a range of planning appeals nationwide. Whether you need us to advise on Local Plan
representations, prepare a planning application, negotiate a section 106 agreement, or pursue an
appeal or High Court challenge, we have the experience needed to maximise your asset’s
potential.

Meanwhile, our environmental expertise ranges from contaminated land to environmental
permitting, water pollution and nuisance. We advise in connection with development proposals,
as well as with end users, such as those in manufacturing, farming and waste management. We
are also experienced in advising in relation to environmental impact assessments. The team deals
with criminal and civil matters and undertakes advocacy at inquiries and in the Magistrates Court,
as well as dealing with High Court challenges.
