Decision Made
That Cabinet:
1. Agreed to adopt the East Suffolk Council Compulsory Purchase Order Protocol.
2. Delegated to one or more of the Strategic Directors, in consultation with the
Cabinet Members for Housing, Corporate Services, Economic Development &
Transport, to make any presentational or typographical amendments and make
minor factual updates to the East Suffolk Council Compulsory Purchase Order
Protocol prior to it being published.
3. Delegates to one or more of the Strategic Directors, in consultation with the
Cabinet Members for Housing, Corporate Services, and Economic Development &
Transport to make appropriate updates to the East Suffolk Council Compulsory
Purchase Order Protocol to ensure it is up-to-date and aligns with current
legislation.
Reason for Decision
Adoption of the East Suffolk Compulsory Purchase Order Protocol will provide up-todate guidance to internal and external parties as to how and when the Council will
consider, and then (if necessary) undertake a compulsory purchase process. It will also
allow the document to be kept up-to-date when further national legislative changes are
made in a timely manner.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
Adopt the CPO Protocol, meaning that the Council has a clear and transparent approach
that it will follow for relevant projects.
An alternative option would be to not adopt the Protocol. However, this would be a
missed opportunity to have appropriate guidance in place for when the Council
considers it may need to undertake a compulsory purchase process
Any Declarations of Interest Declared
None.
Any Dispensation Granted
None.
