Opportunities in the Cambridge-Oxford corridor development
The Cambridge-Oxford Corridor offers a significant growth opportunity, with a range of positive and negative impacts on landowners. Understanding what
We support landowners affected by compulsory purchase, from objection to negotiation and securing the best possible compensation.
Compulsory purchase allows public authorities, and in some cases, private companies (such as utilities) to acquire land without the owner’s agreement. It’s most commonly used for major infrastructure, regeneration, housing or utility projects. If you’ve received notice, it doesn’t mean you’re powerless. You have legal rights and options and the earlier you act, the better your position.
We support landowners at every stage of the compulsory purchase process, from initial notice through to compensation. Our clients include farmers, developers, rural estates and homeowners. Whether you’re facing a Development Consent Order, a Transport and Works Act Order or a council-led CPO, we help you understand your rights, respond strategically and secure the best possible outcome, whether that’s objecting, negotiating, or protecting your land’s future use.
Tees Property team are very responsive, commercial and supportive in equal measure.
We advise at every stage of the compulsory purchase process:
Our Real Estate teams bring decades of experience and understand the wider impact CPOs can have on farming operations, family businesses, commercial landowners and future land use. If you’re also promoting land for development, we’ll ensure that one ambition doesn’t undercut the other.
The earlier you seek advice, the more options you’ll have. We often support clients before a formal CPO is made – during consultations, route selection or project scoping. Getting expert input at this stage helps you influence decisions and preserve value.
We’re a full-service Legal 500 firm with deep rural roots and national reach. We combine legal strength with strategic insight, and we understand the real-world impact compulsory purchase can have.
We’re also recognised panel solicitors for the NFU, so you can trust our track record in acting for rural and agricultural landowners when it counts.
