Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to summarise and analyse reforms to the compulsory purchase compensation code which have been published for consultation by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Design/methodology/approach
– To explain each of the proposals and provide a critical assessment of each of them.
Findings
– The proposed changes comprise a further small step towards the comprehensive reform of the compensation code which is required.
Practical implications
– The proposed reforms are to be welcomed but there are a number of areas in which they need refinement following the consultation process.
Originality/value
– As the proposed reforms were published only in March 2016 there will be few other commentaries available.
