Land Policy, Pre-emption Rights, Land Acquisition & Development Positions

When public-law and private-law land instruments affecting ownership, acquisition and development opportunities is decisive for a project, location or legal position, the legal framework must be incorporated at an early stage of decision-making. You receive an environmental and planning-law approach focused on the regulatory framework, permissions, interests, evidence and the protection and realisation of land and development interests within a transparent public-law framework.

Legal-strategic perspective

Land Policy, Pre-emption Rights, Land Acquisition & Development Positions focuses on public-law and private-law land instruments affecting ownership, acquisition and development opportunities. Decision-making under environmental and planning law rarely follows from one rule or one permit alone; location, planning scope, studies, public interests, the ownership position and implementation conditions are continually interconnected. Municipal land policy, Pre-emption rights and Establishment and expiry of pre-emption rights are therefore considered from the outset within the applicable framework of the Dutch Environment and Planning Act and related legislation. Van Leeuwen Law Firm identifies which permissions and studies are necessary, which administrative bodies have authority and where decisions may be legally vulnerable.
