Planning & Infrastructure
Legal clarity and regulatory foresight for infrastructure and development projects.
Legal Insight That Moves Projects Forward
Broadfield advises promoters, developers, investors, public entities, and operators on the legal frameworks that enable consent for significant infrastructure and regeneration projects. Our current capabilities emphasize planning, obtaining development consent, compulsory acquisition, and associated planning permission, including environmental strategies, as well as resolving associated disputes. We provide technical precision, regulatory clarity, and strategic foresight to clients navigating the essential path of project delivery.
We also advise on judicial review and other forms of statutory challenge, as well as disputes, litigation, and mediation or arbitration related to planning and infrastructure projects. This is because even the best-planned projects encounter challenges along the way. Broadfield is actively enhancing its capabilities in procurement, construction, and project finance to support the entire lifecycle of infrastructure delivery.
