Compulsory purchase, utility works, pipelines and statutory undertaker schemes can have a major impact on farms and rural property. The land taken may be only part of the issue: access changes, severance, drainage damage, soil handling, crop losses, reinstatement, biosecurity, accommodation works and future maintenance rights can all affect the long-term operation of a holding.
Herbert R Thomas represents landowners and occupiers affected by road schemes, public infrastructure, water, gas, electricity and other utility or infrastructure providers. We help clients understand notices, negotiate access and compensation, record condition, agree accommodation works, monitor reinstatement and pursue fair compensation where land, crops, drainage or business operations are affected.
Herbert R Thomas have been actively involved in major strategic highway schemes across South Wales, including the A4226, A4119, A465, and the M4 Widening projects.
