Strong regional commercial law firm in Berkshire is looking to recruit a Planning lawyer of at least 3 years’ PQE. The team is well regarded and recognised in the legal directories for the work it does within Planning law. Recent examples of the type of work the team carries out include: • acting for a developer on a complex s106 agreement relating to the redevelopment of a major London site • providing strategic advice to an institutional landowner on a planning application for a residential-led urban extension • advising a developer on the content of his planning application and environmental impact assessment • acting for a developer in connection with the promotion of a compulsory purchase order in London together with the defence of associated claims in the High Court. Candidates will need to be able to show that they have a good grounding in Planning law procedures and policies governing town and country planning and should have experience of drafting and negotiating s.106 Planning and related agreements. They will also have experience of advising on Planning appeals (including public inquiry work) and should have a good understanding of the environmental impact assessment rules. Applications are welcome from solicitors working in private practice and also those currently working in local and county councils.
