Property and Planning Mediation

Overview

Property disputes involve not only those whose property or land is the subject matter of the disagreement but can also lead to spiralling impact on a neighbourhood or community. Whether the issues relate to rights of way, building and construction, ransom strips, commercial or private tenancy, or to environmental or planning concerns, parties in these cases frequently include a blend of private individuals, commercial interests, public sector agencies and community stakeholder groups. Often with deeply entrenched positions and a protracted history, settlements can be difficult to achieve, hence the frequent need for third party mediation or facilitation support.

CEDR Solve's property group includes leading professionals with a myriad of experience across the sector, including lawyers, ex judges, architects, surveyors and environmental experts. As well as offering an extensive track record as mediators, adjudicators and arbitrators, our neutrals in this field are also experienced in complex assisted negotiations and enquiries including, for example, public sector planning and stakeholder consultations.
