Planning law is about how the land and sea around us is used and developed. It is the legal framework within which decisions are taken about how we arrange different uses and buildings to try to balance economic growth with our social needs and environmental protection. It affects everything from public transport, homes, parks, shopping centres in cities and towns to the countryside and the seabed around our national shores.
​
Town Legal LLP has worked for a wide range of clients including Stansted Airport, the Royal National Theatre, housebuilders, local councils, The Crown Estate, Battersea Power Station and London Hotel Group.
