Wilson Fearnall

We believe that traditional land management and modern innovation go hand in hand. Since 2012, Wilson Fearnall has been the go-to firm for farmers, landowners, and rural businesses who need more than just a report—they need a strategy. As a young, dynamic team of RICS Chartered Surveyors and Planning Consultants, we pride ourselves on offering practical, honest advice that cuts through the noise.

Straightforward Advice for the Modern Rural Business

Our work is underpinned by a determination to maximise the value of your assets, whether that is through a complex land sale, a planning breakthrough, or a new environmental income stream. We don't just look at the property; we look at the bigger picture to ensure your success is our success.

Specialist Expertise in Energy and Infrastructure

We have carved out a niche as specialist independent advisers on large-scale energy projects. Our team has been involved in major infrastructure schemes across the United Kingdom, including:

• Renewable Energy: Advising on well over a gigawatt of option and lease agreements for onshore and offshore wind and solar developments.
• Infrastructure Projects: Managing the complexities of Development Consent Orders (DCOs) and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
• Compulsory Purchase: Protecting your interests and resolving claims early through mediation and independent advice to ensure you receive fair compensation.

Navigating the Future of Farming

As the agricultural landscape evolves, we are taking a lead in commercialising new concepts for the benefit of our clients. We provide first-hand experience in:

• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG): Implementing environmental management plans to offset development impacts.
• Carbon Trading & Nutrient Management: Unlocking new revenue streams from your natural capital.
• Grants & Stewardship: Navigating BPS, Countryside Stewardship, and the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI).

Securing Your Legacy

Property is often a family's most significant asset. We specialise in the sensitive matters that keep a rural business running across generations. From Succession Planning and matrimonial dissolution to Landlord and Tenant disputes under the Agricultural Holdings Act, we provide the professional distance and expertise needed to reach the right outcome.

Whether you are managing a few acres or a sprawling rural estate, we are here to ensure your property works as hard as you do.
