Expert legal guidance at every stage of the planning process.

Planning law in Jersey is complex and can be confusing. It requires an intimate knowledge of the law and the policy considerations set out in the Island Plan, as well as a real understanding of the local context. Planning disputes often involve a range of interested parties from neighbours and Parish authorities to government departments and environmental bodies, each with competing interests.
