Marrons' planning lawyers have extensive experience in the environmental aspects of planning matters. In addition partner Emma Tattersdill is recognised by Chambers Guide and The Legal 500 as a Leader in the Field of Environmental Law.
We regularly advise on the preparation of environmental statements and the regulation of development under European Directives relating to environmental impacts.
We advise clients on the management of environmental risks and liabilities, including contaminated land, water or air pollution, waste management, nuisances such as noise, odour, dust and smoke, ecologically sensitive sites and protected species.
Whether you are buying or selling a property or business, conducting activities that may require an environmental permit or facing regulatory/enforcement action including prosecution, our specialist team has the expertise to help.
We are also commonly retained to make or defend claims for damages or an injunction, pursuing both litigation and alternatives to litigation, such as negotiation, mediation or expert determination as appropriate.
We are also instructed by local authorities and other regulatory bodies to advise on a variety of environmental protection measures, such as those relating to statutory nuisances (particularly noise), polluted dangerous or unsightly properties, and waste management.
