Compulsory Purchase
When you are faced with compulsory purchase powers, it is important to seek advice at the earliest of stages to ensure disruption is minimised and compensation is maximised.
Davidson & Robertson has a team of professional staff that are familiar with the legislation, case law and procedures associated with the Compulsory Powers of Acquiring Authorities, which include: governments, road and rail authorities, and utility providers.
We have years of experience assisting clients, guiding those affected through each stage of the process; from providing initial advice at the start of the consultation on a scheme, which can include potential objections, to agreeing access for relevant site investigation works and negotiating accommodation works and compensation claims.
D&R has worked on oil, gas and water pipelines as well as road and rail projects right across Scotland including:
- The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route
- The Forth Replacement Crossing
- The Borders Railway Project in Scotland.
- The A77 Maybole Bypass
In Northern England we have been involved with one of England’s largest water pipeline schemes, which is carving its way across the Cumbrian landscape, to provide a new water supply to the West Coast of Cumbria.

“We spend a great deal of time talking to local farmers when the consultation process begins to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum and that any issues are resolved as swiftly as possible.”

“We always use Davidson & Robertson as our agents and have always been delighted with both the service we received and with the results they achieved for us. D Worrall”
