Planning & Environmental Law Solicitors

A comprehensive knowledge of planning and environmental law is fundamental to every development project. Glanvilles' Commercial Property solicitors have the experience and expertise to handle all your planning matters. 

Our Commercial Property team provides expert legal advice to developers, land owners and community groups across the South East on a wide range of complex planning law issues. We collaborate closely with our clients and their advisory team to achieve their development objectives or to safeguard their property interests. 

Developers and Land Owners

If you are seeking to enhance the value or maximize and expand the potential uses of your property or land by gaining planning permission, careful consideration and navigation of the Planning Law system is crucial.

Community Groups

If you’re a third party such as a local community group, action group or Parish Council concerned about the impact from a proposed development or a recent grant of planning permission, there are a number of ways you can seek to defend your interests. It is important in these situations that you seek practical and cost-effective Planning Law advice as early in the process as possible.
