Maximising revenue from your land: Supporting landowners with energy and Biodiversity Net Gain schemes

18th March 2024

Energy projects like solar, battery storage, wind, and anaerobic digestion are becoming increasingly popular avenues for revenue generation. With the planning regime now requiring at least 10% Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) to be delivered, there are also opportunities to set aside land for a BNG scheme. That’s where we can help.

As one of the pioneers in the energy sector, we’ve been assisting clients for over a decade. Whether you’re a landowner, developer, or consultant, we understand the nuances of each party’s perspective, allowing us to negotiate deals on the best possible terms.

It’s common for a landowner’s costs to be reimbursed by developers, so securing the best advice is crucial. Our specialist team offers support in corporate, commercial, real estate, planning, environmental, and taxation matters. We even assist with succession planning and Inheritance Tax savings structuring, ensuring that your interests are protected for generations to come.

From advising on small schemes to assisting with large-scale  projects, we have the experience and expertise to help you unlock the full potential of your land.
