Breadcrumb Home Old Oak The OPDC Compulsory Purchase Order 2025 The OPDC Compulsory Purchase Order 2025 OPDC is implementing a comprehensive land assembly strategy to bring together fragmented ownership, optimise development and release land in a timely manner. The land to enable the delivery of Old Oak comprises approximately 31 hectares of land, the majority of which is now in public ownership. The Department for Transport (DfT) and Network Rail, who own the majority of the remainder of the public land holdings, will release their land in a coordinated manner, once it becomes and is declared surplus. This process, which will comply with DfT’s and Network Rail’s operational processes, will be set out in the public land agreements between Network Rail, DfT and OPDC. DfT land is currently being used to support the delivery of HS2, which will become available for development as works progress towards completion. OPDC is working with HS2 to identify opportunities for the earlier release of land where feasible. In September 2025, OPDC made a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to acquire any remaining third-party interests. The CPO has now been submitted later to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for confirmation. Land assembly map What is a compulsory purchase order and how might it affect you? Many public bodies, including OPDC, have the power to make compulsory purchase orders, which enable them to compulsorily acquire land and rights in land. A compulsory purchase order should only be made where there is a compelling case in the public interest. The use of compulsory purchase powers facilitates the delivery of important projects, such as the Old Oak regeneration, that deliver social, environmental and economic change. OPDC has engaged with key stakeholders, owners and occupiers and the wider community who may be impacted by the CPO. The acquisition of land by agreement has remained a key priority and will continue to be actively pursued, with the objective of acquiring as many affected interests as possible through negotiated settlement rather than the use of compulsory powers. OPDC’s Land Assembly and Relocation Strategy (LARS) provides further details on OPDC's approach to engagement with owners, occupiers and those with an interest in land and property in Old Oak.

Where objections from parties with an interest in land included within the CPO remain outstanding, the Secretary of State may arrange for these to be heard at a public inquiry. OPDC is awaiting confirmation of the next steps. The Secretary of State, or an Inspector acting on their behalf, will then decide whether to confirm the CPO.
