Unfortunately, our planning system is complex. Sometimes a legal opinion is needed in support of a proposal. Or sometimes the approval of legitimate development proposals is stalled due to differences of opinion between the approval authority and the applicant.  

If this situation arises, our clients can feel confident that they are in safe hands. Senior Partner David Haskew has over 22 years’ experience as a town planning expert witness in the New South Wales (NSW) Land and Environment Court, and has deep knowledge of NSW planning law.

HDC Planning guides clients through the court process, sourcing and building the best legal and expert witness team to achieve the best possible outcome.
