What Kind Of Solicitor….?

[Theblip]

I’ve heard of property lawyers, libel lawyers, etc. What kind of lawyers / solicitors specialise in council planning issues like extensions?

planning lawyers - my brudduz lah di dah, fifth on the right brother in law has written the standard textbook on planning law and is doing OK thank you.

my brudda ( same one) wanted to appeal a planning decision and was quoted £20 000. - but would be counted as an expense for a development I think on a CGT acct. ( that is Tax law - cash register goes ka-ching again )

Note to self - I must stop sucking a lemon before I answer posts like this

It depends what you are looking for.
If you want help submitting or opposing aplanning application, you would normally go to a planning consultant; private firms who employ qualified town planners (sometimes ex local authority planners) who know about planning law, polcies, regulations etc.
For help with legal challenges to a planning decision, planning consultants would probably have contact with planning lawyers, barristers etc.
All these people cost a lot of money, and are probably not needed when considering a domastic extension.
