- Consulting government departments (Land and Mortgage Registries) to confirm ownership details
- Liaising with third parties
- Drafting settlement agreements
- Calculating landowners’ and farmers’ compensation in line with statutory rates in force (woodland, towers, easements for underground power lines)
- Completing right-of-way procedures for public-interest structures
- Compensation payments in view of the above calculations
For instance, work to create a new 400,000V power line involved meeting over 500 landowners and farmers in the space of less than six months, including the time required to prepare the applications.
Effective consultation right from the design phase enables us to achieve acceptance levels of close to 100% for our projects.
