Climate change has, and will continue to have, a significant
impact on rural affairs whether through bio-crops
schemes, renewable energy opportunities, waste management issues or
bio-diversity planning.
We have a dedicated Rural group whose clients include suppliers
to the agricultural industry, owners of landed estates, landlords
and tenants of agricultural land and those involved in country
pursuits.
Within the Rural group we also have individuals who have
qualifications in environmental science and associated subjects, a
combination of rural legal expertise and environmental knowledge
that makes them ideally placed to advise the rural community on the
impact of climate change on the agricultural industry.
Typically, those areas where we are able to help
include:
- environmental schemes and issues
- farm diversification and alternative land use
- common agricultural policies/subsidies/agri-environmental
schemes
- statutory and non-statutory land designations
- forestry and woodlands
- waste management and contaminated land
- planning
- forward harvesting contracts for bio crops
- renewable energy opportunities.
