In this episode, host Michael Comba is joined by Francesca Gallagher of Sharpe Pritchard and Nick Grundy KC of Five Paper to provide a practical introduction to compulsory-purchase, exploring the powers available to acquiring authorities, the key stages of the process, and the considerations that can help maximise the prospects of a successful outcome.
We discuss:
✅ What a Compulsory Purchase Order is and types of projects it can help deliver.
✅ The importance of negotiation and engagement before formal powers are exercised.
✅ The steps authorities should take when building a robust case for a CPO.
✅ The role of early engagement, mediation and creative solutions in achieving positive outcomes.
