WASTE MANAGEMENT

Our team of waste management specialists continue to provide complete property services to the waste management industry and interested bodies. Legislative changes and the implementation of the EU Landfill directive mean that our clients operate within an ever changing and increasingly litigious sector. To our clients, we offer a wealth of skills and, extensive experience, and we represent operators, landowners, institutions, public organisations and statutory bodies throughout the United Kingdom. Our considerable experience encompasses all elements of the industry and we can advise at all levels of the waste hierarchy, including energy from waste.

Waste management properties and, in particular, final disposal sites, comprise some of the most contentious properties within the United Kingdom. The perceived and actual environmental effects coupled with innate public apprehension can, at best, protract the planning process and, at worst, lead to Appeal and Public Inquiry. All of the relevant issues must be fully appreciated at the preliminary design stages if they are to be overcome when subjected to such scrutiny within the public arena. Often planning applications involve full environmental impact assessment that requires careful management to avoid controversy; our clients have found our assistance to be invaluable when their proposals have been examined so intensely.

Our clients have also enjoyed the range of development services we offer. Long-term strategic advice and representation are essential to the future of waste management operations, and we can target responses at all levels. Our comprehensive range of services also includes site investigation, valuation, contract negotiation, sales and acquisition, marketing, and afteruse advice. We have experience ranging from small scale inert developments to projects involving many millions of tonnes of domestic, commercial and industrial waste, and we can match our skills with your specific requirements.

The estates management of existing waste management properties is fundamental. Our team has a thorough knowledge coupled with tremendous experience of estates management which allows us to advise at all levels. We frequently advise on rent/royalty reviews, litigation, trespass, footpath diversions and, smaller planning applications, and we can ensure that landowners receive the correct payments on time.

Whether you are an existing operator, landowner, institution or interested party, our expertise can help you maximise the value from your property.
