FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

New development project?

Whether you're a Developer, Planning Consultant, Architect, Project Manager, Solicitor or Local Authority, use this form to send us some initial information and request a free 20-minute consultation.

We welcome a conversation before preparing a fee proposal. It helps us understand the project's objectives, constraints and milestones, share our initial thoughts and, where appropriate, refine and agree the optimal scope of work.

That way, our advice and fee proposal can be tailored to the work needed to achieve your project's goals.

You don't need a completed project brief to make an enquiry.

FOR PROPERTY OWNERS AND OCCUPIERS

Affected by a development?

If you're concerned about how a proposed or ongoing development may affect the light to your property, we can help.

Where a development interferes with established legal rights of light, potential remedies may include steps to restrain the development or an award of compensation. The available options depend on your property, its rights and the circumstances.

Tell us a little about the situation and we'll arrange a free 20-minute initial consultation to understand your concerns, explore the position and discuss how best to protect your interests. You don't need a complete brief.

Where a substantiated rights of light claim exists, our reasonable professional fees are usually met by the developer, subject to the circumstances and agreement. We can explain how that typically works during our conversation.

A postcode or planning application reference is helpful, but don't worry if you don't have one.

01 Background: have you? *

Tick any that apply.

02 Property and development details (optional)

Any of these details will help us understand where your property sits in relation to the proposed development before we speak.
