BPF response to MHCLG's consultation on reform of the compulsory purchase process and compensation rules
Our response raises concerns about the proposals to expand the scenarios whereby a landowner could be deprived of market value for certain forms of brownfield and land allocated for housing in a local plan. Our submission notes the proposals could have unintended consequences of increasing uncertainty in the land market ultimately leading to fewer sites coming forward for housing development in overall terms.
