I am a partner in the Planning Team at Bevan Brittan and have significant experience in all areas of planning law, which includes promoting (and objecting to) housing, office, senior living, leisure, and general industrial development. I advise clients on applications for and objections to planning applications, EIA's, planning appeals (inquiries and written representations procedure), development plan representations, planning and infrastructure agreements, compulsory purchase (including overriding third party rights, blight and compensation) and urban regeneration schemes, highways, footpaths (including stopping ups), planning enforcement and High Court / Court of Appeal challenges and judicial reviews.
I also have experience advising on infrastructure-related development (Development Consent Orders). This includes objecting to the Silvertown Tunnel application for development consent, advising the Department of Transport (DfT) on proposals for a third runway at Heathrow, and upgrading the M5, Junction 9.
I focus on individual client needs, offering commercial advice whilst recognising the importance of project timescales and budget constraints.Dalee Kaur is a standout partner. She is approachable, easy to work with, and is strongly focused on providing commercial, practical advice.
