What is a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO)?
A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) allows certain public bodies, like local councils or transport authorities, to buy land or property without the owner's agreement. This power is used when the land is needed for projects that benefit the public, such as new roads, railways, housing, or utilities.
