We here at Frank Marshall have extensive experience in advising land and property owners on a wide range of planning and development matters.

We identify development potential and advise on the best means of promoting it.

We negotiate with developers terms for development options and conditional contracts on behalf of landowners and liaise thereafter with developers in ensuring that clients’ interests are safeguarded. We negotiate the price payable by developers following the grant of planning permission.

We submit planning applications on behalf of landowners and negotiate with local and unitary development authorities in relation to a wide variety of property for alternative uses.

We advise upon and apply for Certificates of Lawfulness of Existing Use or Development. We advise on Agricultural Occupancy Conditions and applications for new farm buildings.

We submit appeals against the refusal of planning applications and against enforcement notices and appear at public inquiries as expert witnesses.
