Driving housing delivery: Leveraging compulsory purchase powers

Date: 11 December 2024, 12:30 - 13:30
Location: Online
Webinar
In this webinar we will be exploring how the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government encourages local authorities to leverage compulsory purchase powers, and new legislation for affordable land acquisition to accelerate new home delivery.

Event details

The recent letter from the MHCLG to all local authorities marks a key moment for land assembly and housing delivery. With new regulations enabling the acquisition of land at significantly reduced costs, this is essential viewing for anyone involved in or interested in boosting land supply for new homes. The government’s guidance on these enhanced powers is set to transform how local authorities approach land acquisition, removing "hope value" from valuations and allowing purchases at existing use value. 

At the webinar, we will be joined by John Sayer, Head of Regeneration at Ardent, where we will delve into these critical changes, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate this evolving landscape effectively. Furthermore, we will consider the prospects of the forthcoming Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which promises to further refine compulsory purchase processes and compensation frameworks. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in addressing the pressing need for new housing land supply.
