Budget Provision:
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.
Documents to be Given to Decision Maker:
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
