Wayleaves on Your Farm
Pylons, poles, pipes and cables.

A wayleave lets a utility cross your land, usually for good. The route, the compensation and how the works are done are all easiest to get right at the start.

Sound Familiar?

  • ESB Networks wants to put a new line across the farm
  • EirGrid is planning a grid upgrade near us
  • A gas or water pipe is going through our fields
  • The works damaged drains and nobody's sorted it

What I Look At

  • The route, and where poles, pylons or pipes sit against how you farm
  • Compensation for the wayleave, crop loss, damage and disturbance
  • Access during works: gates, stock, drainage and reinstatement
  • What the wayleave allows later: maintenance, upgrades, new lines
  • How the line could affect future planning or a sale

What You Get

  • Your position, explained before you sign the wayleave form
  • The points worth negotiating, and what's normal
  • A written record of what was agreed for the works
  • Help when reinstatement isn't done properly

Five years negotiating wayleaves. I've negotiated wayleaves and access agreements for utility projects, so I know the process and what can be asked for.
