RWE Innogy UK have employed Ardent since 2012 to advise on compulsory purchase matters, to undertake land referencing and land valuation, and to carry out negotiations for land agreements in connection with Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, including the associated electrical system Development Consent Order. The team have provided consistency, are quick to respond and understand the wider project context when providing specialist advice.

Having worked with Viki James before in major project consent delivery I knew her skill set would be invaluable in Laing O’Rourke’s ECI role in Sizewell C’s DCO application. Leading as the interface between the Clients planning team and the civil works engineering and construction programme she is ably preparing the team for examination, managing the technical dialogue and decision making, identifying risks and opportunities for delivery and influencing the DCO to preserve cost & programme. She is also a great team player with top communication skills. Her insight of both sides of a major application is not a common skill set and one I value. I would happily recommend Viki and Ardent.
