Planning and building

We have been contacted by numerous people who are confused about the sale of plots of land in West Oxfordshire that are being sold with adverts saying they have future potential for development.
Anyone looking to purchase land for development needs to make sure that they are fully aware of what planning permission is required and to get professional advice so they go into the purchase with the full information. Our planning team are happy to offer information and support so please do contact us if you are thinking of buying land or speak to another planning or development professional.
