Compulsory Purchase

Contact

We have extensive expertise in compulsory purchase cases acting for developers, acquiring authorities, objectors and others affected by the process.

Our experience, built up over many years, covers the use of compulsory purchase powers to acquire land or rights in land in numerous situations. Whichever procedure is relevant we have the expertise to assist, often working as part of a wider project team and once compulsory purchase powers have been obtained, we have substantial experience of acquiring the land.

We can also advise on the implications of Brexit on infrastructure planning.

Clients of Pitmans LLP's planning team are quick to praise it as 'excellent on all fronts'.
Legal 500 UK 2018
Pitmans took a weight off our minds with the S106 and you took the time to grasp the nuances of the issues so you could pick up things we missed.
One of the strengths of the Pitmans planning team is that they can report complex planning issues in simple terms that can be relayed easily to non-planning professionals. I believe this is largely down to the high level of partner-level engagement we have.
