Support for a respite care facility
Location

Solution
Gas Land Rights
This scheme consisted of 112 dwellings, an open space onsite including the provision of a family respite centre, treatment and outreach hub for a local charity, Sebastian’s Action Trust.
Our client asked us to do all we could to expedite connection as quickly as possible to allow families to access the facilities.
The draft legal documents were issued to the landowner’s solicitor immediately, and the importance of the site was stressed to ensure their review was prioritised. Our CAD technician prepared the legal drawing within an hour of instruction and was sent alongside the draft documentation.
Working successfully with the landowner’s solicitor we carried out further investigation regarding an existing sewer easement to establish whether additional consents would be required. The land rights process for a scheme of this nature, on average, takes up to 24 weeks to complete. With the cooperation of the landowner’s solicitor the document was agreed within just two working days and signed under our clients Power of Attorney within 40 minutes of the confirmation of agreement, completing the scheme from start to finish within 6 weeks.
Working efficiently and engaging responsively, ESL are extremely proud to have secured connection for this site ahead of the short deadline. This was significantly assisted by the engagement of the Landowner’s solicitor and demonstrates the high standard of respect and teamwork applied from both sides.
