About us
With extensive experience in the Lands discipline across many projects, both major infrastructure and utilities, we work proactively with clients and their respective teams and suppliers. We engage with our clients to understand key drivers and objectives to ensure the optimal strategy and delivery of the project.
The land take for projects in the public interest must be justifiable and proportionate. Our experience ensures a compelling case, diligent enquiry and robust documentation for any scale of development whether that be under Enabling Acts, Compulsory Purchase Order or Development Consent Order.
Our Services
The team at Helios manages the process from end-to-end including strategy, implementation, delivery and project management. The services we provide cover sectors including energy (transmission, distribution and renewables), water and transport. The land rights for these projects are universal and without land, no project can be delivered.

What’s the new UK government doing about infrastructure?

5 infrastructure takeaways from the 2024 Labour Party manifesto

1. A ‘clean energy superpower’,

3. Extending devolution,

Development Consent Order approved
Plans to upgrade the A66 route between Penrith and Scotch Corner were today (7 March 2024) given the go-ahead by the Secretary of State for Transport. The A66 Northern Trans-Pennine project, which is a key part of the government’s £24 billion investment into roads, will transform journeys along the A66 in the North of England. A DfT spokesperson said: “This Government backs drivers which is why we’re investing over £24bn into our roads to reduce congestion, create jobs and grow the economy. “We also have our long-term Plan for Drivers to slam the brakes on anti-car measures and keep the country moving.”
Turning the tide in scaling renewables
The renewable energy industry has experienced impressive growth over the past decade. In 2022, renewable energy deployments grew by double digits worldwide. However, only 14 percent of all energy use currently comes from renewable sources. Renewable energy is estimated to make up 77% of the world's primary energy supply by 2050. To achieve this target, the deployment of renewable energy must triple from 2022 levels by 2030, which amounts to an annual addition of 1,200 gigawatts.
