A free, online information session for surveyors interested/involved in the Grimsby to Walpole pylons scheme, delivered by specialist compulsory purchase solicitors from Holmes & Hills’ Compulsory Purchase and Development Consent Division.
Attending this free online information session will provide for you understanding the legislation surrounding the scheme, how the scheme will progress, and how we can work in partnership in assisting the landowners in CPO and DCO cases
Date: Wednesday 27th November
Time: 4:00pm
Cost: FREE
1. The legal framework applicable to Development Consent Orders (DCOs)
- An overview of the DCO process, focusing on the specific stages that directly impact property valuation and compensation assessments.
- Critical stages where surveyors can guide clients, providing insights on how to align valuation strategies with legal timing, and when to seek legal consultation.
2. Treatment of ‘Online’ and ‘Offline’ property and land
- Clarify these classifications in practical terms for surveyors, covering how each type of land affects valuation and compensation options.
- Discuss the legal differences for ‘Online’ and ‘Offline’ property and land, helping surveyors leverage these distinctions in their valuation and advisory roles.
3. Different ways in which National Grid may impose rights.
4. Compensation schemes. Including discussing:
- What is known about National Grid's existing compensation schemes.
- Opportunities for maximising settlements
- Rights of business owners
- Rights in respect of agricultural holdings
From our experience delivering several in-person and online events on the National Grid project, the Norwich to Tilbury pylons scheme, we expect many surveyors will have questions they would like to ask a specialist solicitor; if not before hearing our talk and session, then certainly afterwards.
There will be an opportunity for questions at the end of the online information session.
If you are not able to watch the information session live, on the date and at the time specified, you should still register. Registering means that following the event you will receive an email with a link to a recording of the session, which you can then watch at your convenience, still for free.
If you are not able to watch the online information session live, or as a recorded webinar, or perhaps you would rather simply have a conversation with a solicitor about your specific circumstances, you can call us on 01206 593933 and speak with one of our specialist in our Compulsory Purchase and Development Consent Division.
