We are aware of the differing powers held by the companies in the various situations, we know the problems that are likely to be encountered and can advise on the steps that should be taken. Our services include:

• Advice to landowners on levels of payment they should expect in return for having the apparatus on their land.
• Advice to farmers on the effect on Single Payment and environmental schemes
• Negotiating "accommodation works" e.g. temporary fencing, temporary water supplies, crossing places etc to lessen the effect on the occupier whilst the work is in progress and until the land is fully restored
• Agreeing responsibility for reinstatement and re-seeding
• Assessing and negotiating compensation for the occupier for present and future crop loss, disturbance/disruption to business, reduction in Single Payment or other environmental scheme payments.
• Advice on rental values for telecoms mast sites and terms that should be included in leases.
