Planning applications, appeals,
and conditions — managed.
Planning law is complex, slow-moving, and deadline-sensitive. Obiter tracks every planning application, condition, and S106 obligation — so nothing is missed on a development project that may span years.
The Planning challenge
Planning matters routinely span multiple years, involve numerous public authorities, and carry non-extendable statutory deadlines at every stage. From LPA determination periods to PINS appeal timetables and judicial review time limits, the margin for administrative error is negligible — yet the volume of conditions, obligations, and parties makes manual tracking genuinely unmanageable at scale.
- Planning decision deadlines vary by LPA and application type
- Appeal periods are strict and non-extendable
- Condition precedents must be discharged in the correct sequence
- Section 106 obligations span years and involve multiple parties
- Environmental and heritage constraints add complex legal overlays
