Compensation & Compulsory Purchase Orders

If you are approached by a utility company requiring access to your land, WebbPaton LLP can act on your behalf to protect your interests, whether you are a farmer, landowner or tenant. Our reasonable time spent in acting for you is usually covered by the utility company, meaning there should be no cost to you. We deal with various matters including:

  • Agreeing access for surveys, works to existing infrastructure or installing new infrastructure
  • Negotiating a Compulsory Purchase Order made against your land
  • Drawing up compound licences
  • Ensuring reinstatement works are undertaken to a sufficient standard
  • Preparing and negotiating compensation claims following works

We have experience dealing with a wide range of projects, including National Grid, SSE, Wessex Water, Thames Water, Swindon Borough Council, Wiltshire Council, Network Rail, East West Rail, private water pipes, solar companies and residential developers.
