Land Assembly (including acquisition/disposal)

We have extensive experience of facilitating new projects within the transport sector. We have provided site assembly services, which include compiling details of land ownership, value, and constraints to support optioneering and final design selection on several recent station developments, including Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway, Coventry Arena, Kenilworth, and Worcestershire Parkway.

Our team has worked extensively with Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) and Transport and Works Act Orders (TWAO) and can advise both on the scope of a CPO/TWAO and also their implementation in terms of settlement of compensation claims.

Delivering Land and Consents for Major Rail Infrastructure Projects

We led on the delivery of land and rights required for the Northumberland Line Project (formerly known as Ashington, Blyth & Tyne) which involves the reinstatement of passenger services over a 12 mile stretch of railway including the provision of six new stations. We have also recently delivered the land required for a key road project linked to Bermuda Park Station in the West Midlands.

As per rail industry guidance, our activities are documented for each project in a Land & Consents Strategy which details all property and consenting aspects and is advanced through the GRIP or RNEP stages (project governance for rail projects).
