Securing the Future: A Legal Perspective on Enhancing Energy Infrastructure and Community Development in Morpeth

In an exciting development that promises to bring much-needed housing and community spaces to the residents of Morpeth, Northumberland, I am involved in a key part of the legal work. I am currently engaged in the  process of acquiring the Freehold for an underground gas governor, alongside a 3M easement for a 125mm PE Low Pressure gas main, on behalf of the regional gas transporter. This important infrastructure project is set within the historic confines of the old St Georges Hospital site, now the foundation for a large development of new homes.

The land, owned by the Homes and Communities Agency, is part of a larger collaboration with several major builders. Together, they are committed to creating a vibrant community that not only addresses the acute need for housing but also enhances the quality of life for local people through the development of open green and community spaces. The focus on delivering a substantial number of affordable homes is particularly noteworthy, with the plans stating 10% will be dedicated to individuals with additional support needs.
