Appeals and Expert Witness
We are experienced in providing expert witness evidence across a wide range of issues including Planning Appeals and Local Plan Examinations.
We have an in-depth understanding of planning appeal strategy, the process and the preparation of proofs of evidence and have the ability to confidentially deliver expert evidence in court, as well as written representations.
We have been involved in many Local Plan Inquiries throughout the UK, presenting planning evidence as expert witness. The intellectual skills of developing often complex planning arguments in support of clients' interests is a key skill of our team.
