Eastern Region Development Opportunities and Legal Considerations

The Eastern Region is entering a period of significant change, with major infrastructure and development projects creating both opportunities and challenges for landowners and businesses.

From the proposed East West Rail route between Oxford and Cambridge to the planned 700-acre Universal theme park and resort, these developments could have a far-reaching impact on land, property and rural businesses across the region.

What we covered: 

  • East West Rail: how major infrastructure can act as a catalyst for change and create opportunities for rural landowners.
  • Planning for the future: how landowners can use infrastructure and development opportunities to review their land, business and succession plans.
  • Compulsory acquisition: understanding DCOs and CPOs, what they mean for landowners and what options are available if your land is affected.
  • Selling land for development: key considerations, common pitfalls and strategies for maximising value while managing risk.
  • Disputes: potential areas of conflict when selling or developing land, and how disputes can be managed effectively.
