Orders granting development consent under the Planning Act 2008 confer powers of compulsory purchase. Compulsory purchase may be authorised as part of a development consent order granted by the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC), or the Secretary of State.
Whenever an order granting development consent authorises the compulsory acquisition of land which forms part of a common, or of new rights over such land, it is subject to special parliamentary procedure unless the Secretary of State gives a certificate under section 131(3) or 132(2) as appropriate.
