Compulsory purchase powers can be an essential tool for authorities when undertaking urban regeneration projects, and in the delivery of housing improvements, major infrastructure projects and the provision of essential services. This manual sets out advice and good practice guidance on how to successfully manage the process of acquiring land using compulsory purchase orders.
The manual covers the statutory procedures for local authorities, Regional Development Agencies and the utilities. It is based on the experience of practitioners who regularly advise on compulsory purchase orders, and relates to existing powers and procedures.
