Part 9: Compulsory Purchase Procedure Section 181: Online publicity Background
This section amends sections 7, 11, 12, 15 and 22 and paragraph 9 of Schedule 3 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 ("the 1981 Act") which set out the publicity requirements for certain documents and notices issued as part of the compulsory purchase order (CPO) process. It also inserts a new section 12A into the 1981 Act.
	The changes are being made to help modernise the CPO process and, by making information more accessible online, raise awareness and increase engagement in the CPO process.
