Programme
The event will focus on these areas:
HS2
The scale of compulsory purchase acquisitions involving urban and rural property is unprecedented and presents unique challenges. The ‘Code’ does not cover all eventualities, hence the bespoke initiatives on blighted property compensation and the approach to those affected but not subject to land acquisition. Many issues arise and the panel will consider issues raised.
LHR (London Heathrow)
Alongside HS2 the long debated expansion of Heathrow is now being progressed and again unique and specific approaches to acquisition and blight are proposed. Many questions and issues arise.
CPA Reforms – current and future
- The pre-reference protocol. Is it needed, what weight should it carry?
- Submission of unrealistic compensation claims and some Acquiring Authorities offering way below the level of compensation eventually paid is apparent accompanied by poor levels of early engagement with those affected. What can be done to change such behaviours?
The April 2017 RICS Professional Statement – a very significant game changer driving best practice
- Affects all those involved in the sector, consultants and in-house advisors.
- How will it be regulated, what sanctions will be imposed on transgressors, how best to communicate its implications?
