Consenting and planning for energy clients
Our experienced planning lawyers adeptly guide clients through the complexities of the DCO, TWAO and TCPA regimes, providing clear, pragmatic advice informed by their deep sector knowledge.
How we can help
Project promotion
Planning and compulsory purchase are critical to the success of energy and infrastructure projects, often determining whether schemes can proceed at all.
Our leading team of planning and compulsory purchase lawyers advise clients on all aspects of the consenting process, from initial strategy and optioneering, consultation and engagement, through examination (in a DCO context) to securing consent and managing post‑consent risk.
We provide clear, commercially focused advice that supports timely decision‑making and successful project delivery in a changing policy environment.
Supporting affected parties
It's vital that those whose interests and assets are affected by energy and infrastructure schemes are supported through the consenting process.
We help affected parties to engage early and meaningfully in the process, to ensure that their concerns are clearly and robustly conveyed, and that they are well-positioned to secure necessary protections/mitigation and/or compensation through the DCO, TCPA/CPO and TWAO regimes.
