The Environment and Planning Act and the physical environmentEnvironmental plans and spatial planningEnvironmental and planning permits and other consents
Within Environmental and Planning Law, Spatial Planning and Administrative Integrity, The Environment and Planning Act and the physical environment, Environmental plans and spatial planning, and Environmental and planning permits and other consents are connected with the legal regulation of the physical environment and the decision-making that enables, restricts or prevents a proposed initiative. Van Leeuwen Law Firm assesses the applicable legal framework, the necessary investigations and consents, the position of interested parties, the adequacy of the reasons given and the interaction between public and private instruments. Procedural milestones are identified early, so that participation, observations, objections, appeals, enforcement or an application for interim relief are not considered only once the scope for decision-making has already been lost. The approach is directed towards development that is legally sustainable or, where necessary, effective protection against a decision or enforcement measure.
