DMH Stallard LLP

Sought-after for its ‘collaborative and pragmatic team’, DMH Stallard LLP is a key port of call for local authorities, residential and commercial developers, and corporate clients on planning agreements, permission challenges, and enforcement appeals. The ’highly knowledgeable’ and ‘approachable’ Heidi Copland heads the planning and environment group and is regularly entrusted by public sector and developer clients on the arrangement of section 106 agreements and highways and infrastructure agreements. Offering a ’carefully considered’ approach on contentious and non-contentious planning mandates, Lee May, who joined in June 2024 from Brachers (Part of Lawfront), is a further ‘stellar’ contact. May acts for developers, landowners, local authorities, and individuals on negotiating section 106 agreements, appealing planning decisions, and facing planning enforcement issues.
