Renewable Energy

Within our professional team of consultants, we have particular expertise in the promotion of all forms of renewable energy development projects throughout the United Kingdom.

In particular solar PV is becoming a fast growing and mature technology which is easy to deploy. It produces not emissions, has little visual impact on the environment, utilising new or existing hedgerows and can enhance biodiversity.

Predictable

Solar PV provides a predictable energy curve.

Longer Term Income

Provides landowners with consistent longer-term income.

Dual Use

Enables land to be used for sheep grazing between panels

Battery Storage

It can work in association with battery storage.

Clean and Quiet

It is a clean and quiet energy.

Zero Emissions

It does not emit greenhouse gases or air pollutants, contributing towards a reduction in CO2 emissions and dependence on fossil fuels

Solar PV as part of renewable energy initiatives is becoming increasingly important in assisting the country in supporting the countries energy independence and is high on the current government’s agenda.

Renewable projects over 50MW, become national strategic infrastructure projects (NSIP). The determination of these applications is via the Development Consent Order (DCO) process under the provisions contained in the Planning Act 2008 and determined by the planning inspectorate, the government agency responsible for NSIP projects.
