Vivien RIMMER

About

Vivien acts for individual developers and consortia in buying and selling brownfield and greenfield land suitable for short and long-term future development and regeneration including mixed-use schemes.

Vivien has in-depth experience in negotiating complex section 106 agreements which impose obligations to make community payments, provide affordable housing, set aside land for ecological parks, and preserve endangered habitats. She also deals with negotiating other ancillary documents such as highways and other infrastructure agreements, and agreements for the acquisition of rights over neighbouring land.

Vivien also acted for the Older Women’s Cohousing Project (OWCH) with many team members involved in the legal process over the last 2-3 years. Vivien secured the initial instruction to act on the sales and purchases of the individual units.
