‘Go on, Lucy, make utilities & infrastructure sound not dull’. And she succeeds, with ease. From arriving at DM a disillusioned surveyor 9 years ago, L&P Director Lucy Tolley has found it a place where she can thrive, be challenged and welcome in the next generation of brilliant surveyors, planners, land referencers and environmental specialists.


Increasingly, water companies and other U&I organisations are relying on companies such as DM to ensure consents get through, constraints are minimised and landowners are supported throughout the process.


Listen to Lucy and James discuss the rapidly approaching issues across the sector with the new demand for land, the benefits of using a professional services company that only specialises in U&I, as well as the difference it makes when the team are all trained in landowner negotiation.

At Dalcour Maclaren, we unlock consents for the utilities and infrastructure sector.

Dalcour Maclaren’s latest podcast invites Sam Catling and Simon Navin into our studio to be grilled by CEO James Neil.


Sam heads up our Geomatics business and Simon is a key director in the 80-strong team.


In this episode we look at what Geomatics offers and the difference it can make to any U&I project.


From a Book of Reference with more than 14,000 pages for Gatwick Airport to the laser scanning of historic buildings in order for gas mains to be added, we focus on how data-driven services deliver on speed, accuracy and resilience for our clients. But, as always at DM, the data is complemented by human expertise in negotiation, project management and creating effective partnerships.


At Dalcour Maclaren, our Geomatics services include:


Land Surveying: Topographic, Utility, LiDAR and UAV surveys

Land Referencing: DCO, CPO, Book of Reference, and Data Acquisition and Cleansing

GIS, CAD and Data: Spatial Data Analysis, Plan Production, Visualisation, and Connect Platform


And yes, of course, we talk about AI!

At a time when getting projects started is a key focus of this Government’s strategy, the bottleneck in planning is causing headaches for organisations in the utilities and infrastructure sectors.


‘At the moment there is a lack of resource, be it planners, ecologists, heritage experts, etc’ says Allison Pritchard, Director of Environment and Planning at Dalcour Maclaren. But she also explains in our second DM podcast that there are solutions and there are ways to ensure your proposals get through planning on time, keeping your project on budget.


Host and CEO James Neil asks why everyone is pointing their finger at planning and, if getting the right resourcing in place is a long-term solution, what do we do in the meantime?


Allison gives her expert advice, which has been hugely beneficial to our clients over the past six years, on how DM finds short-term solutions, such as:

  • How to prevent the need for planning permission
  • Why our team’s legislation knowledge makes a difference
  • The rules behind writing a planning submission so it won’t get rejected

If you are facing challenges in getting planning permission on your utilities or infrastructure project, you must listen to this podcast, and even better – get in touch with Allison at: allison.pritchard@dalcourmaclaren.com

Our first episode introduces host James Neil, CEO of Dalcour Maclaren, who explores the broader implications of the King's Speech 2024 with our non-executive director and former energy retail CEO, Monica Collings, and our MD, Andrew Barker.


Can the water and energy infrastructure projects mentioned in the Speech be delivered and what might need to change to ensure this? Is private sector investment going to be forthcoming? And just how much investment will be necessary?


James challenges Monica and Andrew with the important question: as a nation, have we really grasped the enormity of net zero 2030?


With factors such as the cost of living affecting adoption of lower carbon initiatives and the difficulty of decommissioning of gas networks, this episode is a must-listen!
