Part 7: Compulsory Purchase Etc Vesting declarations: procedure Schedule 15: Notice of general vesting declaration procedure
Schedule 15 repeals section 3 and section 5(1) of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 so that a preliminary notice of intention is no longer required before a general vesting declaration may be executed. Instead, a prescribed statement about the effect of Parts 2 and 3 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 must be included in the confirmation notice under section 15 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (see paragraph 2 of Schedule 15). An invitation to any person who would be entitled to claim compensation if a general vesting declaration were made to give the acquiring authority information about the person’s name, address and interest (using a prescribed form) must also be included in a confirmation notice.
