In episode 4, we are discussing the MHCLG consultation that contains proposals on the compulsory purchase process and compensation reform with colleagues Jon Stott and John Sayer. Discussion topics include the proposals for extending the disapplication of hope value to classes of sites, improvements to efficiency in promoting CPOs and changes to statutory loss payments. The heart of the question in the podcast is, will these proposals help meet the Government’s Plan for Change target of delivering 1.5 million homes in this parliament.

Key topics include housing targets and tenures, Benchmark Land Values, CPO, planning contributions and a host of colourful development land terminologies, including brownfield, green belt, the new ‘grey’ belt and the ‘golden rules’.
