Private Property - Compulsory Acquisition

Summary

 

Private Property Compulsory Acquisition

What are compulsory purchase and statutory rights?

This is when the council has or obtains the legal right to buy or take rights over your private property if it falls within a public or private construction project such as

new public buildings
certain housing development
road building projects
redevelopment schemes

Different compulsory purchase or statutory powers are needed to implement the above schemes. For example a road bypass will have its own compulsory purchase order through the Acquisition of Land Act 1981.

In all cases, the owners and occupiers of the properties to be acquired or affected by the scheme will be served Notices, with differing expiry times. All the schemes provide compensation to owners and occupiers directly affected by the scheme.
