She now regularly advises clients, particularly developers, on the planning and environmental aspects of renewables projects.

Hazel’s experience in contentious matters since joining the planning team allows her to input on advice where clients are seeking to be represented at planning appeals/inquiries and judicial review proceedings.

She has experience of both contentious and non-contentious infrastructure matters also. This has led her to become a Scottish representative for the Compulsory Purchase Association Futures, and is actively involved with the Southern Scotland Young Professionals in Energy Network.

Alasdair Sutherland and Hazel Noble stand out as impeccably knowledgeable, easy to deal with in plain English and great to work with.
