Planning Obligation agreements are a fertile area for review. Whilst it is commonly perceived that such agreements follow a tried and tested formula (and there are a number of standard form documents which are used by local authorities and developers) our extensive knowledge and experience of these agreements proves this to be a false belief.
Potential Planning Obligation Agreement Problems
Not only are such documents, particularly for larger schemes, often given insufficient thought in their preparation, but also problems that were not carefully considered prior to execution of the agreement frequently transpire to be a disaster. The results for developers and landowners can lead to catastrophic financial implications. Covenants in such agreements can lead to litigation. We can help you with any problems relating to Planning Obligation agreements.
If you have a development in progress, or wish to challenge an agreement either as a resident or neighbour to land that is subject to such an agreement, we are happy to lend our knowledge and experience.
Planning Permission Conditions
Conditions on planning permissions are also a frequent area of concern, either because of Enforcement or because a permission is possibly lapsed or about to expire. We advise upon this issue extensively.
Land Assembly Scheme/Adjoining Land
We are also happy to advise developers of adjoining land that is part of a land assembly scheme for development and subject to an over-arching legal agreement. In addition, we are pleased to advise agents, architects and consultants who would appreciate a review. It could be a very worthwhile investment.
