New Planning Partner for Howes Percival
Swift introduction of Neighbourhood Planning Bill welcomed by property industry THE BRITISH Property Federation has welcomed the introduction of the Neighbourhood Planning Bill to Parliament following the end of the summer recess.
REGIONAL law firm, Howes Percival, has appointed Chris May (pictured above) as Planning Partner and Head of the firm’s Leicester planning team. In this newly created role, Chris will be responsible for further developing and growing Howes Percival’s planning law offering in Leicester and the East Midlands. He was previously Legal Director at Marrons Shakespeare, the legal planning team of Shakespeare Martineau. As an experienced planning lawyer, Chris has expertise in a wide range of work. He has provided strategic support on major development projects in Leicester and beyond for a range of developers, from national housebuilders to specialised student accommodation providers and landowners, including legal audits of planning applications, drafting and negotiating complex S106 Agreements and supporting clients through the appeal process. Paul Wootton, Partner and Head of Planning at Howes Percival commented, “The commercial property sector is a core market for Howes Percival and central to the firm’s strategy going forward. As a team we have a national reputation for our work with developers, landowners and local authorities, so I’m delighted to welcome Chris to the firm and excited to be expanding our planning capability in Leicester where we believe there is huge potential. “We have an excellent property development team in Leicester, headed by Nick James, and the appointment of a dedicated Planning Partner will put us in a really strong position to further grow and expand our practice in the city and beyond. Chris brings extensive experience in all aspects of planning law which will build significantly on our client relationships.
The organisation, which represents those who own and invest in property, has particularly welcomed provisions within the Bill to streamline and simplify the CPO system, which it considers an essential tool for encouraging investment in ambitious infrastructure projects. The BPF further supports provisions to strengthen neighbourhood planning, which will allow development to take place in accordance to local wishes, and improvement to planning conditions, which could prohibit conditions that do not adhere to the NPPF. Melanie Leech, chief executive of the British Property Federation, said: “It is great to see this Bill introduced to Parliament so soon after recess, and to see government prioritising measures that will bring forward more development. “The measures to improve the CPO system are particularly important as they will help to bring about infrastructure projects more quickly and efficiently, which are crucial for attracting inward investment and acting as a catalyst for regeneration schemes. “Our industry is an important cornerstone of the economy, creating jobs, attracting investment, and delivering the homes and workplaces that are crucial to our everyday lives. The provisions laid out in the Bill should go some way towards helping our industry continue to deliver these things, and we are pleased that it is now getting underway.”
