Focus on Crown Estate

The UK’s Crown Estate is a significant national landowner with a diverse £16bn portfolio that includes urban centres and development opportunities. It manages the seabed and much of the coastline around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, playing a major role in the UK’s world leading offshore wind sector. Established by an Act of Parliament, it is a business with a unique heritage, occupying a space between the public and private sector, with all of its net revenue profit going to the Treasury for the benefit of the nation’s finances.
