Part 2: Compulsory Purchase Etc Chapter 2: Other provisions relating to compulsory purchase Section 36: GLA, MDCs and TfL: joint acquisition of land
Transport for London (‘TfL’) can seek compulsory purchase powers only for transport and highways purposes, and the Greater London Authority (‘GLA’) can seek compulsory purchase powers only for housing and regeneration purposes. Mayoral development corporations (‘MDCs’) can seek compulsory purchase powers for the regeneration of their area.
	This section applies where the GLA, or an MDC, and TfL agree that the purposes for which they may acquire land compulsorily would be advanced by one or both of them acquiring land for a joint project. Where this is the case, the purposes for which the GLA, or an MDC, may acquire land are extended to include those of TfL. Similarly, the purposes for which TfL may acquire land are extended to include those of the GLA, or an MDC. This therefore enables either body to acquire all the land required for a combined transport and regeneration or housing scheme on behalf of the other. It provides that the acquisition of land by one body on behalf of the other is to proceed under the procedure that applies to that one and provides that the joint project is ‘the scheme’ for the purposes of the no-scheme principle.
	This section extends to England and Wales and applies to England only
