About this listen

In this episode we dive into a subject that’s both powerful and often controversial in the world of onshore wind: compulsory purchase powers.

Host Pete Gibbard is joined by Ardent colleagues Amy Clark Kennedy (Director of Renewables) and Martin Williams (Director of Renewables, England & Wales), along with guest Alasdair Sutherland, Partner at Burness Paull, to explore:

  • What compulsory purchase really means in practice.
  • Why it’s so rarely used in Scotland – and whether that might change.
  • Will it’s use in onshore wind DCOs in England see a change in approach in Scotland.
  • The balance between landowner relationships and securing delivery certainty.
