At Neves we offer assistance and advice in respect of Town & Country Planning together with insurance and in the case of building clients the many features which must be considered before commencing a commercial development such as the closure and diverting of roads and rights of way, drainage rights, the making up of roads and agreements with the Local Authorities and of course guarantee certification. Whether as part of the conveyancing process or as a separate issue we can provide advice on planning permissions, building regulations, planning directives such as Article 4 directives, planning agreements such as Section 106 and Section 38, listed building regulations and/or conservation area requirements. In respect of additions and alterations to existing residential properties your first port of call is the local duty planning officer whose role is to assist you in relation to any queries or advice required.
