Utilities Consultancy for Developers
Protecting Development Viability Through Early Utility Strategy
Utilities can directly affect land value, planning risk, programme, and cost. We support developers by identifying utility constraints early and developing strategies that align with commercial objectives.
We help developers to:
- Understand utility constraints before land acquisition
- Inform planning and pre-application submissions
- Define realistic connection and diversion strategies
- Manage statutory undertaker risk
- Protect programme and funding milestones
Our advice is commercially focused, technically robust, and designed to support confident decision-making.
Utilities Support for Planning &
Pre-Application
Utility Evidence to Support Planning Decisions
Utility constraints are increasingly scrutinised at planning stage. We provide clear, defensible utility assessments to support planning applications and reduce future delivery risk.
Our planning-stage services include:
- Utility constraints mapping
- Capacity and feasibility assessments
- Budget cost reporting
- Utility strategy reports for planning submissions
- Early engagement with utility providers
This ensures utilities are properly considered before design is fixed or value is committed.

Managing Utility Risk During Construction
Once planning is secured, utility delivery becomes critical to programme and cost control.
We provide delivery-stage support including:
- Detailed diversion and connection management
- Asset protection coordination
- Statutory undertaker programme management
- ICP, NAV and IDNO management
- Construction-phase utility risk mitigation
Our role is to maintain momentum, manage interfaces, and avoid avoidable delay.

Case Studies
- 1900+ Units
- Norfolk
- Electricity, Water and Fibre new connections
- Multiple diversions and disconnections
DNO/Incumbent construction costs reduced by c. 30%. Point of Connection obtained at 33kV. Deal brokered for ICP/SLP to include management of the required diversions in their works at no additional cost to the client.
- 40 Units
- Suffolk
- Electricity, Water and Fibre new connections
- 11kV overhead alteration including repositioning of PMT
Engaged at the pre-planning stage enabling a head start on diversion works and budgetary costs and designs. Multiple on site visits held on behalf of the client with various stakeholders ensuring that no delays were caused by utility works on the project.
- Hotel, Leisure Complex, Industrial Units, 550+ Residential Units
- Essex
- Electricity, Water and Fibre new connections
- Very high load requirement from the surrounding network had to be secured as part of the planning process.
Worked closely with the landowner and their wider project team to agree suitable points of connection and utility routes on site. During the independent tender process we saved our client £1.1 Million across the 3 utilities by working with our accredited construction partners
- Petrol Filling Station
- 2 Drive Thru Units
- Electric, Water and an EV Charging Hub
- Over 2 miles of offsite works
Due to the location of the POC and the requirements of over 2.5MVA the opportunity for extensive savings was possible. We managed a 4-phase selection process to pair the client with the best ICP saving £500,000 as a result.
