Planning Clarity Legal is a boutique (specialist) Planning Law firm located in London, United Kingdom

Our firm provides expert advice on legal matters related to 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. Additionally, we advise on Highways Law matters (including Section 278 & 38 Agreements) and Compulsory Purchase Orders

Our specialist and highly skilled Planning Lawyers and Solicitors have extensive experience from 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 legal matters related 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 firm provides top-tier legal advice but at more competitive fees compared to 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. Our clients also benefit from having their matters handled personally by a senior experienced lawyer avoiding delegation to a more junior lawyer as often seen in larger firms
