Compulsory acquisition for Road Schemes may occur where land is required for a public road scheme, such as a creation of a new public road or the widening/improvement of an existing road.
The process includes formal notices, legal timeframes, and the opportunity for affected landowners or persons with an interest in the land to make a claim for compensation.
The official guidance sets the Roads Act framework for compulsory purchase in respect of road schemes and the basis on which compensation is claimed, assessed and paid. We also recommend that anyone whose land is subject to a compulsory acquisition notice should seek professional advice.
This series will explain the process in simple steps, including key notices, Forms A and B, compensation assessment and where to find official information.
