Compulsory purchase and compensation update – 2016
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to summarise and analyse reforms to the compulsory purchase compensation code which have been published for consultation by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Design/methodology/approach
To explain each of the proposals and provide a critical assessment of each of them.
Findings
The proposed changes comprise a further small step towards the comprehensive reform of the compensation code which is required.
Practical implications
The proposed reforms are to be welcomed but there are a number of areas in which they need refinement following the consultation process.
Originality/value
As the proposed reforms were published only in March 2016 there will be few other commentaries available.
