CERTUS can handle the consenting process associated with your energy proposal. We have an excellent contact base within Local Planning Authorities and renewable development companies throughout Scotland which can greatly assist.
We have access to a range of industry leading software and databases which can help establish amongst other things the availability of grid connection, the acceptable siting of wind turbine(s) from a telecoms and radar perspective, a site’s potential wind resource and the presence of any planning constraints including policy, heritage and environmental designations.
Telecoms Masts
Negotiating commercial lease terms for landowners and secure agricultural tenants in relation to telecoms masts has become an increasingly difficult process. CERTUS can provide advice in this regard.
With the introduction of a new Electronic Communications Code via The Digital Economy Act 2017, many telecoms operators are proposing very minimal rents. Such a commercial approach by operators may go well beyond their Code rights and increasing care should be taken by landlords.
If you are a landowner or developer and would like to discuss potential opportunities on your land then contact us for some independent advice.
