Land in a protected area: a different route to value

Client

A landowner.

The owner wanted to know what could be done with their land.

Whether the land can be developed and, if not, what else it could be worth.

Our review established that the land lies within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is unsuitable for development.

We are investigating its suitability as biodiversity net gain land, which could give the owner value from a site that cannot be built on.

Tell us what you are working on, the decision you need to make and where support would help.
