Licensing Law Services
We understand that obtaining and maintaining the appropriate licences is crucial for businesses in a wide range of sectors, particularly those operating within hospitality, retail, and entertainment. Our expertise in Licensing Law allows us to provide comprehensive advice and assistance on:
Premises Licence Applications:
Whether you are applying for a new premises licence or seeking to vary an existing licence, we will guide you through the application process to ensure full compliance with local authority requirements. We assist with preparing the necessary documents, representations, and liaising with relevant authorities to maximise the chances of a successful application.
Premises Licence Related Issues and Disputes:
We advise and represent clients in all matters related to premises licences, including disputes over conditions, breaches of licence terms, and challenges to licence revocation or suspension. Our goal is to protect your business interests while resolving disputes efficiently, either through negotiation or legal proceedings.
Licensing Reviews and Appeals:
If your licence is subject to a review or you wish to appeal a local authority decision, we can represent you before licensing committees or in the Magistrates’ Court. Our team will work to ensure that your case is presented clearly and effectively, protecting your right to operate and minimising business disruption.
Temporary Event Notices (TENs):
We advise clients on the use of temporary event notices, ensuring compliance with licensing laws and helping you secure authorisation for one-off events.
Planning Law Services
Fidancı Law also specialises in Planning Law, providing expert advice on all aspects of planning applications, disputes, and enforcement actions. Whether you are a developer, business owner, or homeowner, we can assist with:
Planning Applications:
We assist in preparing, submitting, and managing planning applications, ensuring that your proposals comply with local planning policies and national regulations. We can also advise on pre-application consultations and negotiations with planning officers to help streamline the approval process.
Planning Appeals:
If your planning application has been refused, we can represent you in appealing the decision to the Planning Inspectorate. Our experienced team will prepare a robust appeal strategy, gathering the necessary evidence and presenting strong arguments to improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Planning Disputes:
Planning disputes can arise between property owners, local authorities, or neighbours. We offer expert advice on resolving these disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, or legal action. We are experienced in handling disputes over boundary issues, building regulations, and planning consent.
