PDT Solicitors offset the impact of development with a creative nitrates neutrality plan

PDT’s development team has been engaged from the beginning in trying to identify strategies in the planning process that enable development to proceed by demonstrating nutrient / water neutrality.

 

We are pleased that this hard work with our landowner and developer clients is starting to pay off as last month we oversaw the sale of a major development of 118 dwellings, the planning consent for which was only enabled by a creative nitrate neutrality plan that involved off-site land to offset the impact of the development. The agreement involving a third party landowner was enforced through a series of Section 106 restrictions which had the effect of achieving the required neutrality to the satisfaction of the local Council.

As a number of other schemes we are involved with approach fruition in achieving neutrality we are pleased with the contribution our development team is making in the area.

Richard Evans, Land & Planning Director at Sunley, commented “Without the innovative support of the PDT team and their understanding of what remains a complex constraint to development then it would simply not have been possible to secure such a valuable planning permission."
