Compulsory Purchase Orders. No idea how they work,i always thought they were used by councils/government to buy houses/buildings etc,when they needed to build a road/railway line etc. From what i read of the Millwall situation,Lewisham council have placed a CPO on all the business and commercial buildings around the New Den on behalf of a development company. So could Oxford council issue a CPO on Kassam over the stadium on behalf of a company wanting to develop the site ?

Not sure if it's more related to building motorways/roads/town centre redevelopments for beneficial public use e.g. HS2, Westgate etc, so not sure if the Ozone would fall into this category.

That was my thinking. But as Lewisham council are putting CPOs on established shops,garages and other retail outlets that don't want to leave( a pal of mine has a cafe and he definitely doesn't want to go)to sell to an Offshore developer,that sounds dodgy to me. So if a developer with OUFC backing came forward with a proposal to build a new stand,a few houses and a few shops,would that be any different ?

The CPO has to be necessary for public betterment. Not only that, but there has to be a compelling case for the CPO to be granted. Neither limbs of that test would be met in your proposal, so this could never happen.

The CPO was issued to Millwall on the basis that the area was being regenerated and redeveloped as part of a multi million pound scheme to vastly improve the area. As it was, the whole situation was dodgy as f*ck with people in Lewisham Borough Council, and possibly the mayor, previously having some significant involvement with the offshore registered developer. The CPO has quite rightly been suspended in light of these facts.
A Council has to apply to the Government to secure Compulsory Purchase powers and they are usually very hard to get and are a last resort after all reasonable attempts to purchase the land have failed. The situation at Millwall was very strange.
