  • Advising on certificates of lawfulness and planning enforcement from the initial stages through to inquiry and/or judicial challenge as appropriate;
  • Working on judicial review advice and court proceedings, whether making an application or advising in respect of a challenge in the courts;
  • Offering regular advice upon highways issues including in particular public rights of way including stopping up / diversion applications, strategic advice for dealing with public rights of way / desire lines, landowner statements;
  • Contributing to the business development initiatives of the team, whether presenting seminars, writing articles or networking in the regions;
  • Advising in relation to potential enforcement issues, defending or prosecuting current enforcement proceedings;

  • Carrying out basic planning due diligence to support wider real estate and housing departments.

Salary for the successful candidate will be completely led by the experience a candidate can bring to the role and my client will be open to considering ranges of expectations depending upon particular expertise that applying candidates can bring.
