Liaising with Local Authorities and other Service Providers
Issues arise with local authorities and other service providers (e.g. electricity, gas and water boards) which can be dealt with through either retrospective negotiations or via avoidance through an earlier pro-active planning procedure. The former tend to incur additional costs whereas the latter can result in helpful advice and the potential to reap the benefit from otherwise unknown available resources. Accordingly, we seek to engage with relevant departments within local authorities and other service providers in order to establish constructive working relationships. In this way we have obtained benefits for residents in connection with, inter alia, planning, s106 agreements, highways, planning and arboricultural matters.
