Once the CPO has been made, people with qualifying interests will be able to make an Objection to the Order, submitted to the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. There will be a period of time, typically about 28 days where objections can be made. If there are no qualifying objections to the Order or if any that are submitted are withdrawn, the Council will be able to confirm the Compulsory Purchase Order themselves. This means they would have Compulsory Purchase powers.
Objections can only be on limited grounds which do not include the level of purchase price being offered for the property. Typically, objections often delay a regeneration process but extremely rarely stop them.
We can submit objections on a clients behalf but cannot recover our fees for doing so. As such, where we submit objections, we would charge homeowners directly. This would only be done by express agreement.
