Part 9: Compulsory Purchase Procedure Section 187: Common standards for compulsory purchase data Background
This section provides a new provision giving the Secretary of State the power to set data standards in relation to CPO information.
	The measure will facilitate the development of a compulsory purchase system that makes better use of digital technology to improve access to important compulsory purchase information, drive efficiencies in applications for confirmation and decision making, and facilitate better public engagement.
	This section will provide for common data standards within the CPO process which all acquiring authorities must comply with. The data standards will apply only to acquiring authorities and not to those whose land is being acquired or other parties involved in the CPO process.
