Easement or wayleave agreement application

Submit your easement/wayleave agreement application

New applications are subject to a £100 administration fee in order for the Council to review the online application.

For wayleave agreements, once the Council has had the opportunity to review the online application a decision will be made as to whether the wayleave agreement is handled in-house or outsourced to the Council’s Land Agents.
Standard wayleave agreements will be handled in-house and subject to the following charges: 

• Administration fee of £100
• One-off wayleave fee of £600
• Legal Fees of £300.
• Total wayleave charge of £1000.

There may be individual cases where due to the specific details or complex nature of the application the wayleave application cannot be treated as a standard wayleave application. In such cases, an increased wayleave fee and legal fee will be applied.
Once the proposed route has been agreed upon, the Council’s Legal Services team will be instructed to prepare the wayleave document for your consideration.

Please use our online form to submit your easement/wayleave agreement application. If you need help or want to discuss the contents of the form, please email CouncilLandEnquiries@coventry.gov.uk.
