Geospatial services

Clear, reliable land and geospatial information helps projects move forward with confidence.

Our geospatial team brings together land referencing, property research and GIS expertise to help clients understand land ownership, identify constraints and opportunities, manage risk and make informed decisions.

We support projects from early land investigations and feasibility through to complex development, regeneration and infrastructure schemes, including those requiring Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) and Development Consent Orders (DCO).

Land referencing

Understanding who owns, occupies and has an interest in land is critical to the successful delivery of development and infrastructure projects.

Our experienced land referencing team provides comprehensive property research and land referencing services, helping clients build and maintain an accurate picture of the land and interests affected by their proposals.

We support projects from early-stage investigations and stakeholder identification through to statutory consultation, application, confirmation and implementation. Working closely with project, legal and technical teams, we help ensure land information is accurate, auditable and fit for purpose, whether supporting a general development project or a complex Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO), Development Consent Order (DCO) or other statutory process.

Our land referencing services include:

  • Land ownership, occupier research and verification 
  • HM Land Registry, Companies House and other property investigations 
  • Site inspections, third-party enquiries, statutory requisitions and land interest questionnaires 
  • Preparation and maintenance of land referencing schedules, plans and Books of Reference 
  • GIS-based land and ownership plans, supported by in-house CAD capability 
  • Preparation, service and management of statutory notices, including evidence and records of service 
  • Site notice installation, inspection and maintenance 
  • Ongoing support through CPO, DCO and other statutory processes 
  • Support for Notice to Treat, Notice of Entry and General Vesting Declaration processes 
  • Resident ballot verification for local authorities

GIS services

See the whole picture. Decide with confidence.

We help clients make confident decisions about land, property and infrastructure by transforming complex spatial information into clear, practical and actionable insight.

Our GIS specialists bring together geographic, ownership, planning, environmental and project data to build a clearer picture of a site or scheme. Using industry-leading ArcGIS technology alongside CAD and our land referencing systems, we identify constraints and opportunities, analyse relationships and provide the spatial evidence needed to support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

From strategic land acquisition and early feasibility through to development planning, consultation and major infrastructure programmes, our GIS capability helps clients understand complexity, manage risk and communicate information clearly.

More than mapping, we provide spatial intelligence that helps clients see the whole picture, identify risk earlier and make better-informed decisions. 

Our GIS services include:

  • GIS mapping and spatial analysis
  • Site, land ownership and constraint mapping
  • Feasibility and site assessment support
  • Analysis of land, property, planning and environmental data
  • Spatial data management, integration and quality assurance
  • Bespoke plans, mapping and spatial outputs
  • Land referencing and statutory mapping for CPO and DCO projects
  • GIS and CAD data integration
  • Interactive and digital mapping
  • Mapping and analysis to support stakeholder engagement and consultation
  • Ongoing GIS support throughout the project lifecycle
