Gateley Hamer offers services which help clients to extract the most value from their development assets.
Compulsory purchase
Compulsory purchase is a vital tool to help public authorities deliver development opportunities that are in the public benefit. We help both scheme promotors and affected landowners.
Expert witness
If disputes occur, you need to know that you can rely on experts that will effectively and professionally support your case with expert witness services, either in person as an expert witness or in the reports they produce.
GIS services
A Geographical Information System (known to many as GIS) stores, maps and analyses data, and plays an important role when it comes to understanding a project site and giving the project the best chance of success.
Infrastructure development
We have the experience and expertise to support projects at every stage, significantly increasing the chances of promoters securing consent and implementing powers whilst also reducing cost and risk.
Land referencing & property research
When delivering any development, it is critical to have reliable and thorough information on ownership, occupation and rights over the land that is subject to development.
Public inquiries
Public inquiries are vital when it comes to making decisions about future developments. Our specialist Programme Officers organise and administer an independent, cost-effective and efficient inquiry under the direction of the Inspector.
Telecoms infrastructure
Our surveying and legal experts are specialist advisers to the telecoms sector, advising across key areas of telecoms infrastructure, and helping clients find pragmatic and commercial solutions to their property transactions and disputes.
Utilities
Overhead electricity lines, underground cables, gas pipes and telecommunications equipment can throw a real spanner in the works when it comes to developing or buying land. We help developers and landowners to get the maximum value from their land.
