Trevor practices exclusively in Local Government work in which his main area of specialism is Town and Country Planning and Environmental Law. In these fields Trevor has vast experience in a variety of work, largely (but not exclusively) on behalf of Local Authorities including section 78 inquiry work and enforcement including through the civil litigation. Trevor has a special interest in planning and environmental issues within the coastal zone and marine environment and he is able to accept instructions via the Planning and Environment Bar Free Representation Unit
Trevor has vast experience of acting for Order making Authorities, order supporters and objectors in respect of the proposed changes to the Definitive Map and Statement. Inquiry work has included proposed orders to upgrade and add public rights of way of all types, based upon claims of both statutory and common law deemed dedication whether founded on historical and / or user evidence. In addition I have dealt with applications to stop up and divert rights of way both by the inquiry and the Magistrates' Court procedures. These proceedings have raised both the usual issues as well as, sometimes, more unusual issues such as the impact of War Time closures on the continuity of user evidence.
Trevor has extensive experience in acting for applicants, local planning authorities and third parties in the full range of work within the field of Town and Country Planning including section 78 and enforcement proceedings including listed building control, injunction and committal proceedings within both the County and High Court.
Trevor also offers experience in defence and prosecution in matters relating to pollution control including marine pollution, as well as more specialist inquiry work including Transport and Harbour Inquiries.
