Acquisition of Land Act 1981
THE EAST ANGLIA ONE NORTH LIMITED (FORESHORE)
COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2026
1. East Anglia One North Limited (the "Acquiring Authority") has submitted the above-named compulsory purchase order to the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for confirmation. If confirmed, it will authorise the purchase of rights land which forms part of an open space, as defined in the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (the "Act"); that is, land laid out as a public garden, or used for the purposes of public recreation, or a disused burial ground.
2. The order will be subject to special Parliamentary procedure unless the Secretary of State gives a certificate in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 of Schedule 3 to the Act. The Secretary of State has been asked to certify:
paragraph 6(1)(a) of Schedule 3 that the rights land, when burdened with the new rights, will be no less advantageous to those persons in whom it is vested and other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights, and to the public, than it was before.
3. The rights which are to be acquired are in the area described in the Schedule. On the plan referred to in paragraph 5 below, the order land is coloured blue.
4. The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government is required to direct the Acquiring Authority to give public notice of their intention to give a certificate before she reaches a decision, to afford an opportunity for representations and objections to be made. The Acquiring Authority gives that notice. Any representations or objections relating to this proposal should be addressed in writing to:
The Planning Casework Unit, 23 Stephenson Street, Birmingham, B2 4BH
Or via email to PCU@communities.gov.uk
by 20 November 2026 quoting reference PCU/S19/X3540/3379087.
