What do customers get with this new service?

We've released two key features:

A comprehensive Utilities report in PDF format, including a LandTech branded summary and responses from asset owners directly

Utilities lines & data integrated into LandInsight as a map layer, allowing you to overlay Utilities data alongside other valuable datasets

There's now no need to contact each individual asset owner and organise their responses, just order the report and wait 10 days to get a fully comprehensive view of all utilities impacting the site.

In addition, you'll get access to an industry first solution via the utilities lines map data. This will allow you to:

  • See a single, complete view of all utilities assets that underlie your site

  • See which asset owners you need to contact across each category (electricity, gas, water, telecoms, sewage and others)

  • See the total number of utilities lines running through the site

  • See detailed attributes about the line selections e.g. 'high pressure' gas mains

Added to this, we've bundled the utilities lines data in with other valuable layers, so that you can cross-reference them so assess with even greater due diligence:

  • See which ownership parcels the utilities run through

  • See where local substations are located that might connect to site mains and power your development

How do I buy the reports?

You can do this using your LandInsight balance, just top up and purchase! Just remember that you'll only see the purchase flow for saved sites, so make sure you save the parcel first! then you'll see the 'view info' report button in the right hand panel.

How long do these reports take to be delivered?

The aim is to provide the reports within a 10 day window (although this is an aim not a hard SLA to be clear), meaning that in just over a week from request you'll have a fully comprehensive view of all utilities lines impacting your site.

Are there any restrictions on purchasing reports?

In very rare instances there are sites that we can't provide reports for, such as those sitting on military sensitive zones, although these are very rare and you'd likely be aware of this pre purchase. You would be refunded if we could not deliver a report.
