Every application of planning permission or other type of consent has the potential to be the subject of a public inquiry or hearing process.

Ann Faulds has over 20 years experience of planning inquiries and hearings and our team has been strengthened by the recruitment of Colin Boyd QC, a leading planning silk before his appointment as the Lord Advocate for Scotland.

Our experience, as instructing solicitors and advocates, includes inquiries/hearings on:
