Planning Guidance

A particular expertise for Burnetts’ commercial property team is complex commercial, residential or industrial developments. 

Such intricate property matters often raise planning issues. Fortunately, Burnetts Solicitors has the only specialist planning lawyer in Cumbria – Partner, Douglas Claxton is still the county’s only member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's select Planning Law Accreditation Scheme.

As well as having a particular specialism in renewable energy and environmental enquiries, Douglas has also developed an expertise in complex affordable housing cases.

Whilst Burnetts' planning law services are primarily aimed at organisations, advice is also available for private planning matters especially where an application has been refused.
