Part 7, Chapter 1: Content of development consent orders

Section 125: Application of compulsory acquisition provisions

218.This section provides that Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 applies (with specified modifications) to any order granting development consent that contains provisions on compulsory acquisition of land. However, the order itself may specify otherwise. The Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 sets out the procedure whereby ownership of the land is transferred to the acquiring authority. The section makes corresponding provision in relation to Scotland.

219.This section also has the effect that the 1965 Act will apply to any acquisition of land following the service of a blight notice on the grounds that the land is blighted because its compulsory purchase is proposed in an application for an order granting development consent.
