At D&R, we have a dedicated team of rural experts who specialise in supporting energy development projects across the UK.

Whether you’re working with wind, solar, or energy storage, we combine local knowledge, legal expertise, and industry experience to guide you through the complexities of land occupation, rights, and development.

Our expert team excels at negotiating with landowners and developers, securing: options, leases, and servitude/easement, for everything from the main renewable project site to ancillary rights for oversail, overrun, grid connections, noise and shadow flicker, all while addressing any practical issues that may arise

We’re the rural experts.

If you’re looking to acquire land rights, access and grid connections for renewable energy development, we’ll connect you with the right landowner, the best opportunities, and facilitate your project.

D&R’s role in negotiating the Crystal Rig IV Wind Farm Extension at Harehead Farms, Duns

D&R’s role in negotiating the Crystal Rig IV Wind Farm Extension at Harehead Farms, Duns

Back in 2013, Neil Anderson, the Farm Manager at Harehead Farms, asked D&R to represent Harehead and negotiate terms with Fred. Olsen Renewables Limited (FORL) for an extension to the Crystal Rig Wind Farm complex, to be known as Crystal Rig IV (CRIV).

“I had no prior knowledge of wind farms, but D&R explained every step of the process to us very well and have made all the work that has gone on feel very smooth and straight forward.”
