Planning & Environment lawyers in Scotland

Planning lawyers advise on planning permission and appeals, enforcement, compulsory purchase, and environmental and development matters for homeowners, developers, and businesses.

Frequently asked questions

My planning application was refused, can I appeal?+

Yes. You can usually appeal a refusal within a set time limit, and how the case is argued matters a great deal. A lawyer can assess the prospects and prepare or strengthen your appeal.

Do I need permission for my development?+

It depends on the type and scale of the work and any permitted development rights. A short consultation gives you a clear answer and a strategy to get consent as smoothly as possible.

What is a planning enforcement notice?+

It is a formal notice alleging a breach of planning control that can require you to undo work. Deadlines to respond or appeal are strict, so take advice quickly if you receive one.

Not sure which lawyer you need?

Answer a few questions and we will map your situation and suggest next steps.
