Natural Capital Roadshow 2026: Structuring Deals, Unlocking Investment, Driving Landscape Recovery

We are looking forward to hosting another Natural Capital Roadshow, between 2-6 February 2026.

The Natural Capital market is evolving. We will be discussing how it dovetails with publicly funded schemes and private investment.

Using a case study format, we will explore the complexities of structuring and delivering natural capital opportunities.

We will consider these challenges from the perspective of the developer, land owner, LPA, investor, and a land manager.

In particular we will be looking at:

The developing commercial, legal, and policy framework around natural capital opportunities, including considering additionality, and how to evaluate the competing opportunities.
The challenges and opportunities presented by the Planning and Infrastructure Act following royal assent on 18 December 2025.
Reviving and revitalising promotion and option agreements for strategic land in the face of an evolving planning environment.
Exploring the new and developing opportunities for renewable energy development, including, battery, solar and wind.
Explaining, and developing thinking behind the financing and investment in natural capital, including setting out the currently favoured funding models.
Lessons learned in practice from a year of landscape recovery documentation and implementation, including discussions on appropriate structures, tackling encumbrances on titles, and efficient due diligence.
A tour de force of the tax constraints and opportunities brought by natural capital projects on the modern landed estate.

As always there will also be plenty of opportunities to network with like-minded professionals and stakeholders in the field. We look forward to seeing you there.
