Whether you are a government agency or local authority looking to enforce planning controls, a landowner subject to enforcement action or are appealing an enforcement decision, barristers from the No5 Planning team have the experience and expertise to help.
Our barristers have substantial experience in advising both Local Authorities and private clients in relation to all aspects of Planning Enforcement, from advice prior to enforcement action being taken, through the issuing of notices, enforcement appeals, and representation before all levels of court. We advise on the merits, risks, strategy and detail of various forms of enforcement action, from the drafting of notices to dealing with complex multidisciplinary planning and environmental enforcement cases.
Our work regularly includes the seeking (and resisting) of Planning and Environmental Injunctions, with particular expertise relating to Gypsy and Traveller and Environmental matters.
