Removal of Gas Water and Electricity services
I am buying an old access road to a Factory to turn it into garden, and
distribute sections to the neighbours. It is far more complicated than that. :-( It is IMO far better to have the locals owning the land rather than an absentee landlord. A small amount of Fly Tipping has occurred. There are *redundant* Gas, Electricity and Water Services along the length of the road, once used by the factory. I have contacted the companies in charge of the *physical* networks. The gas supplier Northern Gas Networks/United Utilities are Quoting GBP 1073.95 to disconnect the 4 inch main. Is this legal? Because as I see it is just maintenance of their network? I have never had any advantage The Electricity YEDL supplier, on the other hand, are offering to remove the cable "at YEDL cost" Cutting off the water is just a matter of turning off an existing tap next to the existing meter, so I for see no problems. Yorkshire water have not yet got back to me The Planning Department, are proving helpful, and have *said* that there would be no problems, but have charged me GBP 32 for an official answer to my question about Change of Use Planning permission which I fully expect to get. posted to uk.legal.moderated and uk.d-i-y -- Dave Fawthrop sf hyphenologist.co.uk 165 *Free* SF ebooks. 165 Sci Fi books on CDROM, from Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page Completely Free to any address in the UK.
