Planning Clarity Legal is a boutique (specialist) Planning Law firm based in London in the United Kingdom

We are experts in advising on legal issues for property development including Section 106 Agreements (also known as Planning Obligations), Planning Appeals, Certificates of Lawfulness (for existing and proposed development) and other Planning Law matters, Highways Law (including Section 278 & 38 Agreements) and Compulsory Purchase Orders

Our specialist and highly experienced Planning Lawyers and Solicitors have extensive experience working in both the private and public sectors, having previously worked in-house at local planning authorities and at large private practice city law firms. This provides them with a comprehensive understanding of the legal issues relating to planning and property development from all sides of the equation and in planning this is particularly important as lawyers need to regularly deal with local planning authorities and therefore have an understanding of how these authorities function

Our lawyers provide the same high quality of legal advice but at more competitive fees than that charged by larger city law firms given that we are a boutique specialist firm and do not have the significant overheads of these larger firms. You will also have your matter handled personally by a senior experienced lawyer and not simply delegated to a more junior lawyer which is common at larger firms
