Challenges:
• The land title had not yet been transferred into the customer’s name at the time of planning and installation.
• The planned location for the electricity joint bay was in a public footpath directly in front of a neighbouring property’s driveway, presenting access and permission issues.

Our Solution:
• With the customer’s help, we obtained contact details for the current landowner and worked collaboratively with Northern Powergrid to secure a third-party wayleave agreement, allowing works to proceed lawfully on the land.
• Our site coordinator took a proactive and personal approach by visiting the neighbouring homeowner to explain the works, the expected duration, and the potential disruption.
• The neighbour agreed to relocate their vehicle to on-street parking for 4 days to facilitate the work.

Results:
• Electric and gas supplies were successfully installed with minimal disruption.
• The water connection is scheduled for early July and is expected to proceed smoothly, completing the full utility installation for the new build.
