The area of planning is a specialism in itself. Without proper planning permission, a property is not worth the value which otherwise appears. Getting planning permission, varying permissions and ensuring compliance are examples of planning issues where team-work counts - Carter Lemon Camerons wants to be a part of your team.

Environmental law has been growing exponentially. No property owner nor occupier should ignore the implications of modern environmental requirements. Potential environmental problems are often discovered during preparations for a development phase of a property - particularly due to planning requirements. The risks, though, apply to all property owners.

Who bears responsibility for minimising risk of environmental damage or clearing up contamination is a complex area. These liabilities can only effectively be allocated with the greatest of care. We have helped numerous clients consider the risk presented to them from their property portfolio and have worked with developers to establish the best approach to electing a given building or a particular site.

Early and detailed involvement in your plans is our preferred option.
