Environmental law

 

Examples of our work in the area include:

 

Advising Scira Offshore Energy on the acquisition of rights over 23km of land to connect an offshore wind farm to the National Grid, supporting the environmental impact assessment of that project and dealing with planning issues;

Early stage advice on the second largest wind farm in the world, examining compulsory purchase and route options for the onshore connection;

Advising farmers on issues arising from the escape of chemicals into local water courses;

Defending a waste disposal business accused of acting in breach of its licence; and

Acting for another waste disposal business in an action for professional negligence case against its former solicitors, the former solicitor having failed to transfer a waste management licence leaving our client with ongoing liabilities in respect of a site it had sold.
