Modern-day life requires reliable energy production and infrastructure; but delivered in the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way possible. The decarbonisation of energy production has driven an increase in energy schemes being promoted and pursued across the country.
Energy schemes can be delivered via planning permission but larger schemes will typically be delivered as a Development Consent Order (DCO) scheme, and commonly with provision for the use of compulsory purchase powers to acquire the land and/or title rights to deliver a scheme.
In all cases, an energy scheme can have significant impacts on affected landowners, homeowners and business owners.
In addition to environmental, ecological, heritage and land-use impacts, energy schemes can bring significant localised impacts, not only in the construction/delivery phase but also the uncertainty that can arise during the consenting process which can have real-world implications for those wishing, or needing, to sell their property.
The specialist team here at Holmes & Hills can help you to understand the effect the development or energy infrastructure project will or may have on them and their property, providing proactive advice to protect our clients’ interests and legal rights.
We offer fixed-fee packages and will seek to recover our legal costs from the scheme promoter whenever possible. Learn more about our team and how we can support you.
