Compulsory Purchase, Pipelines and Telecoms

Our Agricultural team provide specialist advice on compulsory purchase, utilities, railways, flood alleviation, and telecoms, ensuring clients receive maximum compensation and support. To discuss any of these, please contact our team.

Road Schemes

The Government is committed to its biggest road-building and improvement scheme for decades and this will involve the extensive use of compulsory purchase powers over private property.

Durrants can provide affected parties with specialist compulsory purchase advice to get the maximum value for their property from the compensation system. We have been involved in a number of recent highway schemes including the Norwich Northern Distributor Road, A47 dualling by Highways England, the Beccles Southern Relief Road and the Lake Lothing Third Crossing in Lowestoft.

Utilities – Gas, Water, Electricity, Sewerage

We provide our clients with a comprehensive service in respect of schemes involving the placement and maintenance of overhead or underground construction works, including electricity cables and pylons, fibre-optic cables, pipelines (gas, water, sewerage, and oil), and private utilities. Whether as part of a Compulsory Purchase process or a negotiated agreement, Durrants ensures that our clients are fully and appropriately compensated for any disturbance, inconvenience, and substantiated loss incurred by these schemes.

We offer advice on reinstatement issues and any drainage defects which may result from the works and have been involved in a number of recent schemes including the Vanguard and Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farms, Sizewell B Power Station, numerous Anglian Water and Essex & Suffolk Water pipeline schemes, National Grid mains gas pipeline projects and various UK Power Networks schemes.

Railways

With major rail line routes connecting Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge and London and other lines between local towns such as Diss, Beccles, Halesworth and Wymondham, we have vast experience with advising our clients on various railway schemes. These are predominantly for works carried out by Network Rail and we can advise clients on a range of matters including licences for access and compounds, compensation for any damage to land by the works and ensuring reinstatement following works.

We offer advice to a wide range of land and property owners to help maximise their opportunities if they are affected by telecommunication operators.
