Landowners and farmers have diversified over the decades within their sector as consumer demand, foreign imports and the marketplace has evolved. However, in recent years the diversification has been beyond traditional activities and is likely to increase as we move further away from Brexit.
As a rural surveying firm, we provide comprehensive assistance to landowners exploring diversification. Our services include grant and planning application support, feasibility studies, and project management, ensuring a smooth transition into new ventures. Embracing diversification can transform challenges into opportunities, fostering a resilient and prosperous farming business.
Integrating renewable energy projects onto farms offers a sustainable way to diversify income and reduce carbon footprints. Solar panels can be installed on underutilised land or rooftops, generating electricity for on-site use or sale back to the grid. This approach not only decreases energy costs but can also provides a reliable revenue stream, especially on larger scale projects. With the current government possessing a growing emphasis on renewable energy, adopting renewable technologies positions landowners to benefit from incentives and futureproof their operations in a low-carbon economy
We offer expert guidance to landowners considering renewable energy ventures, focusing on strategic advice and negotiation support. Our team assists in evaluating project feasibility, securing fair and favourable lease terms, as well as guiding clients from the inception right through to the project completion and future management . We ensure that agreements safeguard your interests, addressing critical aspects such as land use, income streams, and long-term sustainability.
