A high-net-worth landowner preparing a site for over 1,000 homes turned to us for help removing entrenched commercial occupants. Acting in tandem with our Residential Development colleagues, we coordinated possession proceedings, resolved access disputes, and advised on easements and recovery of unpaid occupation fees. Our early involvement also helped future-proof transactional documents to reduce ongoing litigation risk. This decisive and coordinated approach secured vacant possession, recovered funds, and enabled planning permission to proceed – unlocking a transformational £12m development opportunity with long-term regional impact.
