Legal Services

The Legal Services team deals with all the legal work of the Authority. This includes advice, planning appeals and planning enforcement, conveyancing and contracts as well as a wide variety of other work. We have some very interesting cases, such as when we take legal action against unlawful quarrying or waste disposal, or prepare contracts for the spreading of new heather seeds on moorland by helicopter.

It is very satisfying to feel that you are helping to protect the national park.

The legal skills used in our work can be used in almost any legal job.
