The development of laws aimed at protecting our environment has been recent but rapid, much of it originating from the European Union. This area of the law has important implications for all forms of land use in Scotland and the firm has already established itself as a source of sound advice and assistance.
Duncan Thomson, who became a member of the Environmental Law Association in 1989 and worked on the 1995 Environment Bill, can advise on the aspects relevant to rural affairs including:
- advice about whether charitable status is appropriate
- aspects of planning and development
- contaminated land
- pollution control
- designated areas
- water supplies
- Nature Conservation Law
In addition, we can often assist in contacting other experts with related practical skills.
