The Compulsory Purchase (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 2007
These Rules prescribe the procedure to be followed in connection with public local inquiries relating to the authorisation of compulsory purchase orders. They replace the Compulsory Purchase by Non-Ministerial Acquiring Authorities (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 1990 and the Compulsory Purchase by Ministers (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 1994. They relate to orders where a Minister is either the confirming authority in the case of a non-ministerial order or, in the case of inquiries relating to a compulsory purchase order made in draft by a UK government Minister, the appropriate authority.
