All providers are obliged to pay compensation and disturbance in accordance with the relevant legislation.

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is fast becoming a lucrative opportunity for landowners. We are leading specialists offering advice on all aspects of renewable energy opportunities. We have been successful in advising landowners enabling development of over 76mw of renewable energy generation across South Wales.
We consider it is important to present a client with more than one choice of Developer to undertake the renewables project, to ensure that the parties can trust each other and work towards a mutually beneficial goal. Landowners should factor not just the short term income benefits, but what implications a scheme may have on Inheritance Tax Planning and Capital Gains Tax.
