What can I do for you

Peter heads the Planning Team at Mills & Reeve and leads on the delivery of complex planning and compulsory purchase projects. These include the promotion of new towns and villages, urban extensions and regeneration projects.

Supporting your ambitions

Peter helped Dunsfold Airport Limited with the promotion of the first new settlement in Surrey for 100 years.  He used his experience of promoting major developments to help shape the planning strategy for the proposal and then advise throughout the journey of the scheme.  This included a call-in of the application by the Secretary of State and defending the scheme from challenge in the High Court. 

What do others say

"Peter is thorough, considered and pragmatic."

"Peter was highly responsive to the demands of the project, built strong rapport with the client team and effective relationships with his counterparts, and provided timely, clear and concise advice along the way.  We were delighted with the outcome."

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
