The Compulsory Purchase of Land (Conditional Confirmation) Regulations 2026

These Regulations set out the procedures that apply where an acquiring authority or Minister is seeking to make operative a compulsory purchase order (“CPO”) confirmed conditionally. A CPO can be confirmed conditionally under section 13BA(1) of, or made conditionally under paragraph 4AA (1) of Schedule 1 to, the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (c. 67) (“the Act”). Where a CPO has been confirmed conditionally or made conditionally it does not become operative until the confirming authority or Minister has decided that the conditions imposed on the CPO have been met.
