Environmental law is one of many devolved powers now enjoyed by Scotland and as such has received a lot of attention. Our specialist Environment and Planning team will help to ensure that your business is able to deal effectively with new stringent regulations whilst still maintaining a commercial focus.
The issues affecting the environment in Scotland are policed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), and in some instances the relevant local authority.
These issues include:
Planning permission
Pollution protection/prevention
Protection of the natural environment
We have extensive experience in these matters, and will work alongside you to ensure your business operates successfully within the guidelines.
Complementing this service is our Planning team, who will help you to successfully complete all of your planning needs. Whether you are looking to build, design or even convert property (from business to leisure, leisure to housing or housing into offices) the expertise of our team of planning specialists will ensure that your plans become reality.
The team have also been involved in a number of successful large scale Planning Inquiries for retail, business and other developments, and with their extensive experience can guide you through the whole planning process from start to finish.
