Planning and environment

Planning affects many areas of life.

There may be a desire to construct a new building or extend an existing one, convert a barn, or change the use of a building to start a new business. Work may have already been carried out without planning permission and there is a need to sort out the problem. Another area of concern can be the proposed changes put forward by a neighbour which may affect you adversely.

Whatever your query, dealing with the planning system can be off-putting when faced by its bewildering maze of forms and complex policy and procedures. Barber Titleys’ planning department will help you deal with a wide range of planning and related matters, including:

  • Planning applications
  • Planning appeals
  • Planning agreements
  • Occupancy restrictions
  • Certificates of Lawful Use or Development
  • Development plan representations
  • Objections to planning proposals
  • Planning enforcement issues
  • Listed buildings and conservation area issues
  • Highway issues
  • Local government and ombudsman complaints

With extensive experience in both public and private sectors, Tim Axe heads the planning department, with clients including developers as well as many individuals and businesses.

Having worked in Harrogate for many years, Tim is well versed in rural planning issues and has many farming clients all over North Yorkshire for whom he has helped to find creative solutions. Paramount to the service provided by Barber Titleys is to ensure that the client receives added value in any planning solution required.
