It can be a key tool to help assemble land to secure social, economic and or environmental changes (through a regeneration scheme, for example), but it can also be used to acquire individual run-down properties. The Government has made recent changes to legislation to better enable the use of compulsory purchase to achieve public policy aims and is encouraging councils to use these powers more frequently, especially to deliver affordable housing. Further national changes will be made over the coming months and years.
