In an environment where the cost of electricity is rising, alternatives are being sought. Solar is the fastest growing energy source worldwide, with a global average annual growth rate of 25% over the last five years. With farmland being an ideal location for the installation of solar, solar farms are becoming increasingly prevalent.

The Renters Reform Bill is expected to be introduced into Parliament later this year. This follows the UK government's white paper ‘A fairer private rented sector’ published in June of 2022. We look at what the government has said these changes will mean for the future of the Private Rented Sector in England.

If you are a land manager, whether a landowner, farmer, land agent or local authority (and this list is by no means exhaustive) you may be able to sell off-site biodiversity units. The market for these is emerging and the buyers are anticipated to be from a range of developers who are unable to meet in full the requirement for biodiversity net gain on a development site. The statutory requirement to do so comes into force in November 2023.
