The purchase notice: compensation for planning restrictions

Abstract

Following the provisions of the Planning and Compensations Act, 1991 we have a planning system under which, in principle, no compensation is paid for the refusal of planning permission. One way remains by which compensation can still be obtained – it is by way of a purchase notice under section 137 of the Town and Country Planning Act or section 32 of the Listed Building Act, 1990. Examines the legal rules governing purchase notices and then goes on to analyse the valuation and compensation implications.
