BIOSCAN - FOR LANDOWNERS
Working with
Landowners
Bioscan advises those looking to promote land for development (see ‘For Developers’) but also those who wish to manage their land better for nature conservation, carbon sequestration, or to market their land for offsetting biodiversity impacts through the biodiversity net gain (BNG) process.
We are also called upon to advise on eligibility for agri-environment schemes and also to provide representation for or against designation of land under the domestic statutory and non-statutory regimes. We also write and oversee the implementation of management plans.
