Welcome to North Town Consulting, your partner for land acquisition and management.
Since 2012 North Town Consulting has provided land acquisition services, advice, and support to the telecommunications, renewable energy and utilities industries. Combining a full understanding of client requirements with the skills and knowledge to engage, negotiate and collaborate with landowners and regulatory bodies we ensure that the delivery of sites and routes, vital to the national infrastructure and economy are delivered on time and ready for access.
Telecoms
North Town Consulting has played an important role in the evolution of telecommunications and broadcast infrastructure across the UK since 2012. The expert land acquisition and management services provided have facilitated the rapid expansion of networks for key players in fixed-line and mobile communications.
Knowledge and experience of working within the Telecommunications Code is critical to maintaining momentum without alienating landowners. We use the Code fairly and at the correct moment to ensure negotiations remain on-track and within guidelines but without jeopardising the long-term relationships that must be forged.
Since 2019, against tight deadlines and within exacting financial and geographical constraints, North Town Consulting has been closely involved in the rollout of the new Emergency Services Network (ESN), a nationwide and nationally critical public safety project with over 50 rural sites acquired, shepherded through the planning process and passed on to build partners ready for construction and commissioning.
North Town Consulting has also played a key role in the expansion of telecommunications networks as part of the Shared Rural Network, bringing modern communications to some of the most remote parts of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Utilities
North Town Consulting secures utilities routes through careful negotiation with landowners and industry bodies to help ensure project success. The management of large numbers of diverse and often competing elements to deliver a single route requires meticulous planning and early engagement to identify and mitigate risks effectively.
Fostering positive relationships with landowners and navigating regulatory processes efficiently is key to minimize disruptions and maximize project efficiency.
With sound industry knowledge and attention to detail blended with a keen understanding of the concerns and needs of landowners, North Town Consulting can deliver reliable solutions for infrastructure projects.

We understand the importance of building strong relationships with clients, landowners, stakeholders and regulatory bodies, dedicated to fostering positive engagements, negotiating fair and practical agreements, and upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
