The law is continuing to develop rapidly in the field of compulsory purchase and compensation.  The Supreme Court's recent decision in the Sainsbury's case has highlighted the need for even greater care in preparing and making a CPO.  The Tribunal's recent decisions in Urban Edge, Persimmon Homes and Newell have continued to adapt the statutory provisions relating to planning assumptions and scheme disregards.  The House of Lords' decision in Spirerose has emphasised the importance of certificates of appropriate alternative development.  Large scale acquisitions such as those for the 2012 Olympics & Legacy and Crossrail are producing complex legal and valuation questions in relation to topics such as business disturbance. 

This seminar will address these important issues in one afternoon, with short, focussed sessions on each topic - ideal for busy practitioners.  The seminar should be of benefit to all those working in this field, including acquiring authority officers, solicitors, surveyors, planners, accountants and developers.
