Environmental issues

By their very nature, rural property transactions can often throw up an array of environmental issues, from wildlife and nature conservation management to contaminated land. 

Given the hefty financial penalties that can be imposed for breaches of environmental legislation, it is essential to take legal advice at the earliest possible opportunity should you be acquiring or disposing of rural property, or considering its development.

The changes brought about by the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011 will have significant implications for rural pursuits and animal welfare.  

We are able to offer up-to-date advice on such matters and on related legislation in this constantly evolving area of law.
