Wayleaves, Easements & Other Statutory Utility Powers - The Key Issues Explored

Introduction

Utility companies - electricity, gas, telecoms, water and drainage - have at their disposal a wide range of statutory powers to take rights in land, as well as outright powers of compulsory purchase.

Clients may therefore encounter the work of the utilities sector in many ways - new rights of access may be demanded; equally existing installations may be a problem for the future use and redevelopment of land.

This live broadcast session will review these issues for lawyers, surveyors, planners and developers, aiming to provide practical guidance which can be deployed with confidence in dealing with the utilities sector.
