Goes above and behind to help, Brendon Lee saved us thousands in a law suit by researching and finding a way for us to move forward.

Planning, Highways and Environment Senior Associate Brendon Lee was recently praised for his work negotiating a resolution with a local planning authority. Brendon’s client, a developer, contacted him after it was subject to enforcement action for allegedly cutting down some trees in contravention of a tree preservation  order (TPO). These orders protect individual and groups of trees for public amenity.

The enforcement action included prosecution by the local planning authority. However, Brendon’s expertise, knowledge of planning, and negotiating skills led to the withdrawal of the prosecution.

Following this successful outcome, the developer said:

“We enjoyed working with Brendon and with his extensive knowledge he was able to achieve a positive outcome for us. He’s always very contactable and an efficient communicator. We would be happy to use his services again.”

Brendon is looking forward to working on similar cases in the future.

Buying land only to find that it was considered to be highway by the local council was a real blow for Brendon Lee’s clients Ollie and Francesca, but Brendon was able to retrieve the situation for them and secure them a reduction on the purchase price too.

He was able to have the highway rights over the land removed, which enabled the couple to use the land freely and to fence it off if they chose.

Ollie said: “I would like to say a huge thank you for dealing with this issue for us. The reality on our side is that we were pretty stressed and worried about the situation when it first arrived. With your assistance you’ve taken away all that stress and made this a simple process.”
