Land assembly and the provision of necessary infrastructure are integral features of the development process and can entail the compulsory acquisition of land in private ownership. The practice has wide experience, acting for both the acquiring authority and the appropriated party, to allow for the promotion of major development, often via assembling sites for comprehensive city centre schemes.

We negotiate the appropriate compensation, whether acting for the acquiring body or those whose interests are acquired. We appear at CPO Public Inquiries and Lands Tribunals on behalf of public and private sector clients.  Find out more about Compulsory Purchase and Compensation here.
