An Introduction to The Compulsory Purchase Association

What is the CPA?

The CPA is an organisation created to bring together and channel the wealth of expertise in the subject of Compulsory Purchase and Compensation, to promote this important area of work and to foster a basis for best practice. In doing so it not only provides a sounding board for change in this sphere but makes comment and provides recommendations relating to relevant Law Commission, government department and other Reports and existing /proposed Legislation. As an important adjunct it promotes training initiatives together with opportunities for those in CPO professions to network and share experience and knowledge. It is a fully independent and self funded organisation.

What are our Objectives?

The objectives for the CPA are to:

• Establish a multi-disciplinary association of persons interested in compulsory purchase. Enable free exchange of views, experience and advice. Provide correspondence and newsletters to members by e-newsletters and e-mails Promote lectures, seminars, and similar events, on compulsory purchase topics for both members (at preferential rates) and non-members. To provide networking opportunities for members Liaise with Universities to provide assistance on compulsory purchase topics. Act as a reference point and sounding board for Government, the Law Commission and others on compulsory purchase issues and proposals. Promote best practice in all aspects of compulsory purchase.
• Remain independent of all organisations so as to offer balanced and unprejudiced views and advice.
