The Law and Practice of Land Assembly for Pipes, Sewers and Flood Defences

This showcase conference provides a deep dive into land assembly and compensation for water, sewerage and flood-defence infrastructure. The subject is under unprecedented scrutiny as population growth, climate pressures and environmental concerns place increasing demands on networks and assets.

This conference examines some of the strongest statutory powers over private property on the civil statue book. Available to undertakers for land assembly and access, how those powers operate in practice, and where disputes most commonly arise. Bringing together perspectives from both infrastructure providers and affected landowners, the programme explores what works, what does not, and how policy and practice can evolve to meet the challenges ahead.
