Susy Gandy

Approachable, collaborative, and insightful — Susy's calm, practical approach makes a difficult process much easier to manage

Susy Gandy provided excellent professional advice and clear guidance concerning this complex proposal, which has been invaluable. Susy’s planning expertise speedily identified and addressed the issues, her helpful assistance and understanding of the situation, alongside that of Csonger Szij, have been much appreciated. Should the need arise, we would not hesitate to use Richard Buxton Solicitors again and highly recommend Susy Gandy’s excellent professional services

From the initial call through to the successful resolution of our claim the support and guidance provided by Susy, Paul and Will was outstanding.

She has been professional, knowledgeable and practical, offering a sensible cool legal head.

What began as a single planning objection soon evolved into a complex case involving multiple unauthorised developments, enforcement escalations, and appeals. Without Susy’s planning expertise and determined approach, these unlawful builds would have remained to the severe detriment of the visual and residential amenities of the local area and community. Her meticulous objections and strategic engagement with local councillors ensured that planning breaches were not ignored. Susy’s ability to reference case law, advocate effectively, and apply pressure where needed resulted in a decisive enforcement outcome, with unauthorised developments demolished and planning regulations upheld. I highly recommend Susy to anyone needing expert planning consultation and representation.

Richard Buxton Solicitors provided a small, informally convened community group of modest means with excellent legal support in fighting an industrial scale planning application in Cornwall’s National Landscape. We were allocated an experienced Legal Advisor within the practice. Susy Gandy gave clear, professional advice, responded efficiently to feedback, and generally gave us the impression that she was in our corner throughout. The outcome was that the developer withdrew his application. The practice stayed within the estimated fee envelope, and we felt we had been given a service that was both effective and good value for money.

I cannot speak highly enough of Richard Buxton Solicitors. They took over our complex public law case against our local council regarding the proposed disposal of a major community asset. From the very first letter, their professionalism, clarity, and depth of knowledge were immediately evident. They quickly identified the strongest legal grounds and drafted a powerful, tightly argued pre-action letter. Their strategic input was decisive. Shortly after they came on board, the preferred bidder formally withdrew their interest, no doubt as a direct result of the legal pressure they helped create. Throughout, they were responsive, transparent, and a genuine pleasure to work with.
