Planning law

If you are looking to make changes to your home, there are planning laws that say what you can, and cannot do. There are also certain processes to follow. Smith Roddam Solicitors take away many of the worries as we know you have enough on your plate.

Planning law ensures you don’t change your property, or build a new one, without thinking about the wider community. You need to know what these legal controls are. Planning laws are complex. If you want to change the use of your property or your gardens, you will need to do this properly. If you wish to object to changes made by your neighbours, there is a way to do this too. And for anyone living in a listed building or conservation area, you need to know what laws apply.

We explain planning laws as simply as we can. Our lawyers are experts, so you have the comfort of knowing we won’t knowingly let you upset your neighbours. You will be kept in touch with throughout the process. We promise that any queries you have will be dealt with promptly.

Make contact with Smith Roddam Solicitors and together, we can plan the best way for you to achieve your property dream. Call us today on 01388 881 611.
