Compulsory Purchase

We can advise developers and local authorities seeking to use compulsory purchase procedures and occupiers and investors on receipt of a Compulsory Purchase Order.

For a body considering using CPO powers we can provide estimates on potential acquisition costs and carry out negotiations in advance. Additionally, we can appear as an expert witness at a Public Inquiry and we can negotiate purchase and compensation settlements.

For owners and occupiers we can assist with objections to a CPO at Public Inquiry. We can also negotiate compensation both for the property element and disturbance.
