Clause 79
Planning Bill

Am I right in thinking that the reason for striking out compensation for compulsory acquisition of land from the ambit of the clause is so that the Lands Tribunal can continue its operation as the main avenue through which land acquisition compulsory payments are discussed if there is a default on an agreement? I am trying to assist, because I, too, am a bit bemused. I suspect that that may be the reason—so that the Lands Tribunal remains intact as a body.
