x3
Firstly, although I replied to you, my points and questions were certainly not critical of anything you had said on the matter.
M62 - I wasn't aware of what you say there but a quick google tells me what you say is right and what I suggested was an urban myth.
Henry Street - I didn't know whether a CPO had been granted and if so then any argument would be about the granting of the CPO. I have no problem with the council attempting to purchase with consent and prior to you advising me of this, I thought it was the club who was purchasing the properties directly be it with or without a CPO.
All good x3, you've cleared up just about everything, the only thing that I'm still wondering about is a general thing and not specific to Henry Street, what are the exact definitions on whether a CPO should be granted ? There are some cases where a CPO is granted where folk have to sell against their will and there are some cases where a CPO is not granted and folk are happy because they are able to sell at a premium if they so wish ? I guess it's just all about how much a council thinks a development should be supported ?
