Compulsory Purchase and Compensation

In the course of his practice Mark has had many instructions in this field appearing at pubic inquiries for CPOs and Certificates of Alternative Development as well as appearing in the Lands Tribunal and its successor - the Upper Tribunal (Lands) - in compensation and similar claims. He has been retained by all parties, landowner/objectors and acquiring authorities.

His most recent experience has been:

  • Acting for the Compensating Authority on a claim for compensation for the modification of a planning permission for an airfield.
  • Appearing at inquiry acting for the landowners in a s.17 Certificate claim relating to the compulsory acquisition of land in Barnstaple to construct the Western Bypass to the town. A claim which is now proceeding to the Tribunal.
  • Appearing at inquiry leading the team for the landowners objecting to the CPOs necessary to construct the proposed Witney Bypass.
