Most businesses require planning advice at some stage whether you are expanding your premises, applying for a Lawful Development Certificate or Change of Use, responding to enforcement action from the local authority or being faced with many of the hurdles that the planning system can put in your way.
Our planning department knows how important having the correct consents in place is for the operation of your business and we are experienced in guiding you through the planning system. Often businesses require professional planning advice before taking ‘the next step’ and we can produce Feasibility Reports tailored to meet your specific requirements which will assess the likelihood of your next project securing planning permission.
Our planning consultants and planning solicitors provide you with a cost-effective one-stop service and we are more than happy to discuss your initial requirements over the telephone, at your site or in our offices.
Although based in Dorset we provide planning services throughout the UK.
“In 2015 we instructed Neil Andrews of Coles Miller to facilitate the execution of a pre-negotiated legal document so that we would be paid for our stock. This seemingly simple transaction became complicated when the organisation’s initial response was to utilise their lawyers rather than pay us. Neil was tenacious in fighting our cause. His eye for detail saved our money and we eventually received all money owed to us, without compromise. Tellingly, our original investors who also were extracting their money through their own alternative solicitors told me that they wish they had used Coles Miller. I would recommend Coles Miller without hesitation.”
For Dion McCarthy, Litigation Solicitor:
"Mr McCarthy went above and beyond to assist in my case. His thorough review of my scope of work was greatly appreciated and I will certainly keep him and the company in mind for any future matters."
