Planning for Development + expert evidence

We successfully represent our clients’ interest at planning, local plan, Transport & Works and Compulsory Purchase Order inquiries and at examinations in public.

We appear for developers, landowners, regeneration bodies and local authorities. We provide expert evidence on planning policy and on the full range of related land use, economic development and regeneration matters, and have submitted evidence to Parliamentary inquiries and standing committees.

Examples of recent appearances include:

the JSP inquiry for Hull and the East Riding where our evidence resulted both in the elevation of the city centre for pure office use and the formal protection of the Hull city centre masterplan as the strategy for the city centre; at inquiries into infrastructural and power generation proposals; EIP appearances on behalf of residential developers in Cheshire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire and on behalf of retail developers in the West Midlands and the North West; at planning appeals on behalf of residential, retail, distribution, mineral working, and mixed use developers in numerous local authority areas across the UK and the Republic of Ireland; and the submission of evidence on the impact of the planning system on the economy to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Planning.
