Objections to CPOs must be in writing, but there is no specific form for making an objection. An objection can be made by a qualifying person or their professional adviser.
A qualifying person is either:
- an owner, leaseholder, tenant or occupier of any land in the CPO
- any other person who may have the right to claim compensation if the CPO is made (sometimes called a ‘statutory objector’)
- The CPO notice sent out by the acquiring authority will state who the objection should be sent to, and the time limit.
