FOR PLANNING PURPOSES

SECTION 122 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1972 SECTIONS 203 & 204 HOUSING AND PLANNING ACT 2016

Notice is hereby given by the Metropolitan Borough of Bury (the "Council") that:

1.1. Land in Prestwich comprising land at Fairfax Road and Rectory Lane, Prestwich (the "Site") is required in connection with the proposed development of the Longfield Shopping Centre and surrounding areas; and

2.2. A report proposing the appropriation of the Site for planning purposes pursuant to section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 is due to be considered by the Council's Cabinet on or after 13 December 2023.

A plan showing the extent of the site may be inspected at the Town Hall, Knowsley Street, Bury, BL9 0SW and at the Library, Longfield Centre, Prestwich, Manchester M25 1AY.

In the event that the Council resolves to appropriate the Site for planning purposes, section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 would enable relevant rights and interests (such as easements which benefit other land) and contractual restrictions on the use of the Site (such as restrictive covenants) to be overridden when the development is carried out. Any person who holds the benefit of such a legal right and who suffers a relevant loss when development takes place would, in due course, be entitled to claim statutory compensation pursuant to section 204 Housing and Planning Act 2016.

Anyone who wishes to obtain further information should email: PrestwichRegeneration@bury.gov.uk, in good time before the final date for written representations referred to below. Any person who considers that they have the benefit of such a legal right which might be interfered with or breached by the development of the Site and who wishes to comment on the proposed appropriation before a decision is reached is invited to email: PrestwichRegeneration@bury.gov.uk to arrive not later than by 5:00pm on 21 November 2023 including details of the property and the rights concerned. Comments received by that date and time will be considered by members of the Council's Cabinet before a decision is taken.
