Macvere Land Rights
Electricity legal plans, right first time.
A rejected legal plan stalls the deed, the adoption and the energisation behind it. Most rejections happen for the same reasons: the plan does not meet HMLR requirements, it does not match the network design, or it does not show what the DNO or IDNO needs to see.
Macvere Land Rights produces HMLR compliant legal plans for electricity adoption - substation sites, cable easements and adopted networks - verified against the relevant IDNO and DNO requirements before they leave us.
What we produce
Substation and Plant Plans
Lease and transfer plans for substation sites, drawn to HMLR standards with the access, cable and ancillary rights the operator requires.
Easement Plans
Cable easement plans, including multi-plan sets for long routes where the easements will not fit on a single plan.
Verified Against Requirements
Every plan is checked against IDNO and DNO requirements before issue - not just HMLR compliance. Where the local authority highway plan is needed, we obtain it as part of the service.
Amendments, Handled Cleanly
Designs change. We operate a clear amendment process with defined scopes, so a substation move or plant relocation is dealt with quickly and the transaction keeps moving.
Turnaround
Standard plans are delivered within five working days of instruction and receipt of the relevant information. Complex schemes are flagged at instruction, not discovered at the deadline.
Built for connection businesses
IDNOs and ICPs instruct us at volume because the product is consistent: same standards, same turnaround, same document quality on every scheme. Per-plan pricing is agreed in advance. Ask for the current fee schedule for your organisation.
FAQs
What makes a legal plan HMLR compliant?
Land Registry requirements on scale, orientation, boundary definition and identification of the affected land. Non-compliant plans are requisitioned, which adds weeks. Compliance is the minimum. Matching the plan to the network design and the operator's rights requirements is the substance of the work.
What do you need to start?
The network design, the site layout and the title information. We confirm the full information list at instruction, and the turnaround clock runs from receipt of everything needed.
Do you handle the deed as well as the plan?
Through our Connection Ready service, yes - we manage the whole land rights transaction including solicitor coordination.
