Land Information 

We have a highly talented team of land referencers and geo-spatial analysts. Good data is at the foundation of a successful strategy, and we place a high emphasis on a robust assessment of your land requirements.  

Our team can identify all land interests affected by your proposed development and provide a full interactive GIS based property information and project management online portal.

Land Assembly Strategies 

We use data to devise a project strategy to secure the land rights and any other property contracts needed to progress the project to commissioning and operation. This project document crystalises the scope of our work and acts as a key project management tool. 

 Environmental Services 

We are able to provide specialist ecological surveys and environmental management services. Our contractors dynamic approach finds ecological solutions within the constraints of any project. They are also experienced in the measurement and assessment of environmental noise for all types of development and can support a planning application by undertaking a Noise Impact Assessment to comply with local, national and international standards. 

Forestry 

Our team specialise in providing end-to end forestry consultancy and woodland management advice. We work with project teams and landowners to help create and manage diverse, ecologically connected woodlands and forests across the UK.   

Planning Support 

We have Chartered Planners within the team who are proficient in Planning Law and policy. All of the team have a broad understanding and theoretical knowledge of the consenting requirements of electrical and grid infrastructure.   

Land Budgets & Cost Control 

The land assembly strategy is underpinned by a land budget and cost forecast which acts as our negotiating mandate. This is kept up to date on a monthly cycle and used as the basis of the Property Cost Estimate and the land Property Cost ledger.  

Property Negotiation 

Within the ceiling of the mandate we will negotiate transactions to agree commercial heads of terms using the template deal documentation we have agreed with you.  

Property Transaction Management 

Understanding your project timescales we will engage with professionals acting for landowners and occupiers to build consensus on timescales for concluding property transactions, often for option agreements, in line with your target project financial close.  

We will closely manage each transaction taking your instruction on key risk items and driving every detail of the deal to contractual conclusion.  

Compulsory Acquisition 

You may choose to “back cloth” your negotiating strategy with a CPO to acquire rights in the event that voluntary deals cannot be concluded, or landowners or occupiers cannot be identified or located.  

Promoting a CPO is a project in its own right and we have considerable experience in the project and process management of this.
