- 1994
- Property and Compensation Reports (1994) 68 PCR 563-568(6) .
LT 16 August 1994. In 1988 a resolution was made to compulsorily acquire a Grade II listed building as part of a plan to redevelop a town centre. The order was never made and in 1993 it was resolved not to proceed with it. In 1992 J who occupied the building served a blight notice on the council (S) under Town and Country Planning Act 1990 s150(1) requiring it to purchase their interest on the grounds that the land was blighted and they were unable to sell it. S objected. Held that as no cpo had ever been issued the land was not blighted. Blighted land was defined as `land in respect of which a compulsory purchase order is in force`. A resolution authorising S to make a cpo was not enough.
