In light of the new measures put in place by the UK government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many projects are being assessed to determine whether they can continue or whether work should pause. Local authorities are putting in place appropriate measures for their areas to protect the health and safety of the public and their employees whilst trying to help businesses to survive. The impacts vary from council to council and national guidance is being updated regularly. Innovative technological and online solutions have been encouraged across the sector, including by the Planning Inspectorate and the courts, to find practical solutions to difficulties arising.
We have produced a FAQ fact sheet collating relevant guidance as well as our opinions on some of these issues. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact us.
Information is also available from the HSF Real Estate and Construction teams on landlord and tenant and construction issues. Please contact us if you are interested in hearing more from them.
