Planning

The restrictions on development imposed by planning control are an everyday feature of property ownership.  Breaches of planning control may lead to enforcement action and ultimately prosecution.

Chilcotts are experienced in representing individuals who are alleged to have breached planning control.  We can assist you through the enforcement notice appeals process and any criminal prosecution.

We also have experience of applying for lawful development certificates and in the removal of ‘agricultural ties’. These can be particularly useful when you desire to sell a property, as it could considerably affect the value.

You may wish to object to a planning application that has been made within close proximity and could affect you.  Chilcotts can assist you with this process including the preparation of papers for any committees or meetings that may occur.  We are able to represent you at hearings and before enquiries if the circumstances warrant this.
