Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced that the ban on onshore wind farms in England will be lifted. For farmers and landowners in the north of England this opens new opportunities as there has been a surge in interest from developers searching for sites in the area.
As rural specialists, we are already looking at land with a view to siting wind farms and related battery storage. We urge landowners faced with enquiries to seek professional advice at the outset.
D&R has over 20 years’ experience supporting Scottish landowners impacted by wind farm developments and the issues extend beyond negotiating land rent, and often affect multiple farms as Director Paul Robinson explains:
As experienced Land Agents we can clarify options and negotiate terms, ensuring landowners understand the long-term implications of such projects. In the north of England, less population density increases wind farm proposals, but regulations will remain strict regarding proximity to residential areas and National Scenic Areas – which will include the Lake District National Park.
