ACQUISITION OF LAND, ENGLAND AND WALES

Section 100(5) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”) amends section 12 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (c.67) (“the 1981 Act”). The effect of the amendment is to entitle a person who is a tenant (whatever the period of the tenancy) of land proposed for compulsory purchase by an authority other than a Minister, to receive notice of the making of a compulsory purchase order. Before that amendment, the entitlement under the 1981 Act had been restricted, so far as tenants were concerned, to those whose tenancy was for a period of more than one month.
