Our dedicated marine team has been supporting and enabling coastal communities and industries for over 50 years. Our unique knowledge of property types within the coastal zone - including foreshore and seabed – brings us into contact with many different owners and users from ports, harbours and marinas to industrial and leisure developments requiring access to the sea. It is also a key area for the landing of cables and pipelines from offshore energy installations.
From the Port of Felixstowe to Shetland, the marine environment is unlike any other property asset and requires specialist knowledge of the particular legal and planning structures to enable sensitive and successful development. Our expertise spans independent mooring associations to the UK’s leading container port.
